Introduction and aims. We present our experience with minimally invasive surgery for pharyngoesophageal (Zenker) diverticulums, epiphrenic diverticulums and achalasia cardiae focusing on the perioperative features and patients’ quality of life. Patients and methods.

Here, we describe balloon catheter dilation at the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) in three sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM) patients with dysphagia. Initially, we performed IVIg therapy, and, three months later, switched to balloon dilation therapy. A 12-Fr balloon catheter was inserted from the mouth under fluoroscopy and the balloon inflated at the UES.

Manometry of the pharynx and the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) provides important information on the swallowing mechanism, especially about details on the pharyngeal contraction and relaxation of the UES. However, UES manometry is challenging because of the radial asymmetry of the sphincter, and upward movement of the UES during swallowing. In addition, the rapidity of contraction of the pharyngoesophageal segment requires high frequency recording for capturing these changes in pressure; this is best done with the use of solid state transducers and high-resolution manometry.

The purpose of the present paper was to determine if pharyngeal or cervical oesophageal lesions may present with distal symptoms. All patients presenting for barium swallow underwent examination of the pharynx and oesophagus. The pharyngeal examination included spot films of the pharynx as well as views of the pharyngo-oesophageal segment filmed at three frames per second.
