Background: Achalasia is an uncommon disease treated by decreasing the lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure. This study compared the safety and efficacy of esophago-gastric myotomy via laparoscopic, robotic, and per-oral endoscopic approaches.
Methods: A retrospective review of data on patients with achalasia or other esophageal dysmotility disorder undergoing laparoscopic, robotically assisted, or per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) procedures between 2013 and 2017 was performed.

MycobactériumFortuitum is often responsible, and the clinical's presentation is an aspiration pneumonia resistant to usual antibiotic therapy. We report the case of a 15 year-old patient with the history of Allgrove syndrome.
