Robotic‐Assisted Epiphrenic and Mid‐Oesophageal Diverticulectomy: A Tertiary Centre Experience

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 22, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Surgical management of oesophageal pulsion diverticula is advised when symptoms significantly impair quality of life. Robotics can aid in transhiatal dissection in diverticulectomy, but available evidence is limited. Methods A retrospective chart review of all consecutive robotic‐assisted oesophageal diverticulectomies with Heller ...

Cytologic Findings in Esophageal Perforation: An Institutional Experience With Pleural Fluid Specimens

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 429-435, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Esophageal perforation (EP) is a rare but life‐threatening condition, and most cases are due to iatrogenic causes. The rest occur spontaneously, due to malignancies, or trauma. The mortality rates can approach 50%, and delayed diagnosis of EP exacerbates patient outcomes.

Acute Respiratory Failure From Massive Esophageal Dilatation due to Achalasia

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Massive esophageal dilatation secondary to achalasia resulting in acute hypoxic respiratory failure from cardiopulmonary mass effect. ABSTRACT Massive esophageal dilation from achalasia can cause acute respiratory failure via lung compression. Prompt recognition and urgent esophageal decompression can rapidly reverse hypoxia and be lifesaving.

Is Single‐Session Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy With Fundoplication Safe and Effective in Achalasia? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
This meta‐analysis of nine studies (202 patients) demonstrates that peroral endoscopic myotomy with fundoplication (POEM‐F) achieves a technical success of 94.8% and significant symptom improvement (Eckardt score reduction from 8.3 to 1.1). Post‐procedural esophagitis occurred in 20.7% and wrap integrity was preserved in 75.7% on follow‐up, supporting ...
