Sublingual Nitroglycerine Spray Facilitates Efficient Submucosal Tunneling during Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy—A Nonrandomized Trial

Journal of Digestive Endoscopy
Introduction In the last one decade, per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been found to be an effective minimally invasive approach for the treatment of esophageal achalasia cardia and was lately shown to be noninferior to laparoscopic ...

Protocol for an international multicenter randomized controlled trial assessing treatment success and safety of peroral endoscopic myotomy vs endoscopic balloon dilation for the treatment of achalasia in children.

PLoS ONE, 2023
IntroductionAchalasia is a rare neurodegenerative esophageal motility disorder characterized by incomplete lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation, increased LES tone and absence of esophageal peristalsis. Achalasia requires invasive treatment in all

Heller Myotomy Versus Heller Myotomy With Dor Fundoplication for Achalasia

Annals of Surgery, 2004
We sought to determine the impact of the addition of Dor fundoplication on the incidence of postoperative gastroesophageal reflux (GER) after Heller myotomy.Based only on case series, many surgeons believe that an antireflux procedure should be added to the Heller myotomy.

Intestinal Metaplasia of the Distal Esophagus in a Patient With Untreated Achalasia-An Unusual Case and Review of Literature. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Barrett's esophagus (BE) and achalasia are distinct esophageal disorders with opposing pathophysiologic mechanisms, making their coexistence exceedingly rare. We describe a 51‐year‐old woman who presented with progressive dysphagia, postprandial vomiting, and significant weight loss over 8 months.

Comparison of Achalasia Classification Schemes to Predict Treatment Outcomes. [PDF]

Neurogastroenterol Motil
Achalasia classification methods can be beneficial to help prognosticate treatment outcomes. High‐resolution manometry subtypes (Chicago Classification) predicted symptomatic outcome, whereas esophagram‐based classifications (Japanese Esophageal Society (JES), Italian, Brazilian) more strongly predicted objective emptying. This highlights the potential

Pneumatic dilation versus laparoscopic heller's myotomy for idiopathic achalasia [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Many experts consider laparoscopic Heller's myotomy (LHM) to be superior to pneumatic dilation for the treatment of achalasia, and LHM is increasingly considered to be the treatment of choice for this disorder.
