Consensus on the Management of Anesthetic Agents During Digestive Motility Measurements and Proposal of a Standardized Protocol for Anesthesia (French Neuro Gastroenterology Group GFNG and Committee of Anesthetic French Experts)

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Anesthesia can alter measurements during digestive endoscopies, yet no standardized protocol currently exists. Two expert groups—the French Neuro‐Gastroenterology Group (GFNG) and anesthesiologists—used the Delphi method to reach a consensus on which drugs have an influence (91 amendments), ultimately resulting in a proposed anesthesia protocol (28 ...

The Role of Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (FLIP) in Addition to High‐Resolution Manometry and Timed Barium Esophagram in Treated Achalasia Patients With Persistent or Recurrent Symptoms

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 3, March 2026.
Functional lumen imaging probe did not offer additional yield over high‐resolution manometry and timed barium esophagram in identifying which treated achalasia patients with persistent or recurrent symptoms were likely to benefit from further treatment.

Balloon dilation - Assisted laparoscopic Heller myotomy and Dor fundoplication [PDF]

, 2003
Two methods are currently used in the treatment of achalasia: endoscopic balloon dilation and surgical Heller myotomy. Laparoscopy has come into use in achalasia surgery, and good outcomes have been achieved. This study included 11 patients (mean age, 30.

Pseudoachalasia due to Distal Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in an Elderly Patient: Clinical Insights

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Pseudoachalasia is a rare condition that clinically and radiologically mimics primary achalasia, most commonly secondary to an underlying malignancy. We report the case of a 79‐year‐old man presenting with a two‐month history of progressive dysphagia to both solids and liquids, accompanied by regurgitation, retrosternal discomfort, heartburn ...

Anterior Dor or Posterior Toupet with Heller Myotomy for Achalasia Cardia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

, 2019
Background and Aims: Partial fundoplication is commonly performed in conjunction with Heller Myotomy. It is, however, controversial whether anterior Dor or posterior Toupet partial fundoplication is the antireflux procedure of choice.

Comparison of Achalasia Classification Schemes to Predict Treatment Outcomes

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
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
