Achalasia cardiae miatt az első oesophago-cardia myotomiát több mint száz évvel ezelőtt Ernst Heller német sebész végezte. Az achalasiás betegek a mai napig ettől a beavatkozástól várják panaszaik megszűnését. Az achalasia napjainkban is chronikus, progresszív betegség, aminek oki kezelését nem ismerjük, a gyógyítására, a panaszok enyhítésére gyógyszeres (calcium csatorna blokkolók stb.), endoscopos (botulinum toxin inj., ballonos tágítás, per oralis endoscopos myotomiát [POEM]) és sebészi (laparoscopos, thoracoscopos myotomia) kezeléseket váltakozó sikerrel alkalmazunk.A betegség progresszivitása miatt a betegek 5%-ánál a nyelésképtelenségig fokozódó dysphagia, megaoesophagus alakul ki, megoldására műtéti beavatkozás válik szükségessé. A működésképtelen nyelőcső eltávolítása és pótlása kiterjedt, nem elhanyagolható morbiditással és mortalitással járó beavatkozás. Közleményünkben egy 45 éves nőbeteg kórtörténetét, az általunk alkalmazott műtéti beavatkozást ismertetjük. A beteg a műtét óta panaszmentes.

Objectives: Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder of unknown etiology. However, no studies have determined the populations in which sleep problems occur and whether they are improved by peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). We investigated the rate of sleep problems assessed by GERD-Q (AGQ) in achalasia patients, evaluated whether POEM improves these issues, and identified factors associated with sleep improvement after POEM.

Infectious myocarditis (IM) and infective endocarditis (IE), sometimes associated with infection of the surrounding mediastinal tissue or embolic complications caused by residual implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) lead material embedded in the ventricle, present a significant challenge for cardiac surgeons due to the difficulty of precisely locating the old intracardiac pacing lead remnants because of the heart's continuous movement. We present the case of successful two-stage elective sternotomy extraction of two residual defibrillator leads, one trapped in the left innominate vein, easily removed after veinotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and the other embedded intramyocardially in the inferior wall of the right ventricle, successfully removed under CPB after fluoroscopic guidance. The patient was discharged four weeks post-operation without complications.

Importance: Patients with achalasia face a higher risk of developing esophageal cancer (EC), but the surveillance strategies for these patients remain controversial due to the long disease duration and the lack of identified risk factors.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of esophageal Candida infection among patients with achalasia and to assess the association of Candida infection with EC risk within this population.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients with achalasia diagnosed at or referred for treatment and monitoring to the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, between January 1, 1980, and May 31, 2024.

Background: Achalasia is a primary esophageal motility disorder, which shows impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the absence of peristalsis, leading to dysphagia, weight loss, and chest pain. In recent years, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has become a popular method for treating achalasia. However, the effectiveness and safety of full-thickness myotomy (FTM) versus circular muscle myotomy (CMM) in POEM require further investigation.

Background And Aims: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has become the treatment of choice for achalasia. However, the impact of myotomy length on POEM outcomes remains unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the outcomes of short versus standard-length myotomy in achalasia patients.
