Personal experience of the intra-operative use of oesophageal manometry in cases of hiatus hernia is presented. Using this system the pressure in the air cushion surrounding the L.E.S. can be adjusted to avoid any complications due to overtight or overlax surgery. Various types of post-operative tests confirm the value of the technique.

Introduction: Dysphagia after anti-reflux surgery (ARS) is one of the most common indications for re-operative anti-reflux surgery and a leading cause of patient dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, the factors affecting its development are poorly understood. We investigated the correlation between pre-operative manometric and the intra-operative impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP™) measurements and development of post-operative dysphagia.

Introduction: The size of a hiatal hernia (HH) is a key determinant of the approach for surgical repair. However, endoscopists will often utilize subjective terms, such as "small," "medium," and "large," without any standardized objective correlations. The aim of this study was to identify HHs described using objective axial length measurements versus subjective size allocations and compare them to their corresponding manometry and barium swallow studies.

Background: GERD and Achalasia are two known complications after sleeve gastrectomy. Treatment towards each of these complications varies and requires a tailored approach.
Methods: We present a 55-year-old female with class II obesity and a previous history of sleeve gastrectomy who developed significant gastroesophageal reflux disease refractory to medical management.

Background/aims: Achalasia cardia (AC) is rare in children, and the standard treatment is open or Laparoscopic Heller's myotomy with or without fundoplication if pneumatic dilatation has failed. Per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a novel technique for management of achalasia with good results in adults. We report POEM in four children and the outcome with special emphasis on the technique and management of intra-operative complications.

Background: The surgical treatment of achalasia by both laparoscopic and endoscopic approaches has been recognized as the definitive management in children. Despite reported low volumes in many centers, there has been an increasing worldwide experience with endoscopic approaches to pediatric achalasia. The aim of this study is to report our institutional experience with per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) as first-line or revisional therapy for achalasia.
