Wound healing of laparoscopic Heller's myotomy with and without an added dor's fundoplication, in pigs [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND: It has been argued that a Dor's fundoplication following myotomy is useful to prevent leakage due to overlooked iatrogenic perforations of esophagus and it is able to stop sphincter reconstruction, avoiding recurrent achalasia. Another strain

Esophagography in Patients With Esophageal Achalasia Diagnosed With High-resolution Esophageal Manometry

Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2018
Background/Aims High-resolution esophageal manometry (HREM) is considered to be the gold standard for the diagnosis of achalasia. However, the Japan Esophageal Society recommends that esophagography is also accurate in either diagnosing or excluding the ...

The Milan Score Predicts Objective Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Patients With Type 2 Esophagogastric Junction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
The novel manometric parameter Milan Score could be useful in predicting which patients with type 2 EGJ have a high likelihood of objective GERD, therefore discriminating which patients may need escalation of GERD investigation and management. ABSTRACT Introduction High‐resolution manometry (HRM) allows assessment of esophagogastric junction (EGJ ...

Comparison of Short Versus Long Esophageal Myotomy in Cases With Idiopathic Achalasia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2020
Background/Aims Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established treatment for achalasia. The technique of POEM is still evolving and the impact of length of esophageal myotomy on the outcomes of POEM is not known.

The Milan Score is an Effective Manometric Tool to Predict Gastroesophageal Reflux in Patients With Laryngopharyngeal Symptoms

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Patients with isolated LPS demonstrated a lower likelihood of EGJ disruption, pathologic GERD, and abnormal Milan score. The Milan score performed similarly well in the identification of GERD in both LPS and typical symptoms. The Milan score could therefore be used as an upfront test in LPS patients.

Risk of esophageal cancer in achalasia cardia: A meta‐analysis

JGH Open, 2019
Introduction The association between cancer of the esophagus and achalasia has long been recognized. However, it has also been recognized that cancers themselves can give rise to achalasia‐like syndromes. The risk of developing cancer is also a factor in

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy in Diffuse Thickened Esophageal Wall in an Adolescent

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2018
Achalasia is an extremely rare pathology in children. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of achalasia in adults, but only a limited number of cases of achalasia treatment using POEM in children have been ...

Additional Diagnostic Yield of Ambulatory 24‐h High Resolution Manometry With Impedance in Patients With Non‐Cardiac Chest Pain or Non‐Obstructive Dysphagia

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Spastic and hypercontractile esophageal motor disorders can cause retrosternal pain and/or dysphagia but may be missed by short‐term high resolution manometry (HRM). 24‐h‐HRM detected considerable circadian variability of esophageal contractility and markedly increased the percentage of patients diagnosed with a major motor disorder.

The Pathogenesis and Management of Achalasia: Current Status and Future Directions

Gut and Liver, 2015
Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder that is commonly misdiagnosed initially as gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients with achalasia often complain of dysphagia with solids and liquids but may focus on regurgitation as the primary symptom ...
