Article Synopsis
- The paper examines the outcomes of pneumatic dilatation treatment for 206 achalasia patients up to 1990, reporting on patient demographics and complications.
- It highlights that 120 patients received the pneumatic dilatation procedure, with most having successful results, as indicated by reduced lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and a low morbidity rate.
- The study concludes that pneumatic dilatation is an effective first-line treatment for achalasia, suggesting surgery only if multiple dilatations fail or in certain complex cases.
