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 ...

Robot-assisted Heller myotomy for achalasia

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2019
Achalasia is a rare neuromuscular esophageal disorder in children. There are many surgical options to treatment including botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, oral pharmacologic therapies with nitrates and calcium channel blockers, pneumatic dilation (PD),

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.

Robotic Heller myotomy

, 2020
Achalasia is a neurodegenerative disorder of the esophagus of unknown etiology, which affects motility, causing symptoms such as progressive dysphagia with liquids then solids, heartburn, regurgitation, odynophagia, weight loss, nocturnal cough, and ...

A physiologic clinical study of achalasia: Should Dor fundoplication be added to Heller myotomy? [PDF]

, 2005
ObjectiveMyotomy for achalasia disrupts the lower esophageal sphincter, improving emptying at the expense of reflux. We hypothesized that surgical palliation of achalasia requires balancing desirable improvement in esophageal emptying with undesirable ...

The calibrated laparoscopic Heller myotomy with fundoplication

, 2013
Background: Esophageal achalasia is the most common primary esophageal motor disorder. Laparoscopic Heller's myotomy combined with fundoplication represents the treatment of choice for this disease, achieving good results in about 90% of patients ...

Indocyanine Green Fluorescence During Heller Dor Myotomy for Achalasia: Techniques, Intraoperative Applications, and Evidence Gaps—A Scoping Review

Gastrointestinal Disorders
Background: Heller myotomy (HM) is the standard surgical treatment for achalasia. Complete muscular division while preserving mucosal integrity is essential for optimal outcomes.

Anesthesia for Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) – not so poetic!

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2022
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a promising natural orifice transluminal endoscopic procedure for the treatment of esophageal motility disorders, with similar effectiveness as of Heller myotomy.

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.
