Achalasia is a relatively rare esophageal motility disorder that is mainly characterized by a lack of peristalsis of the esophageal body and absence or incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Its symptons, frequently heard from patients’ stories, produce a huge impact on their lives. The ISDE (international society for diseases of the esophagus) has provided a virtual presentation and discussion regarding achalasia of esophagus through its types, how to diagnose, what is the most appropriate achalasia treatment and what is the role of achalasia surgery, and what is the role of POEM in the achalasia treatment. • Surgical myotomy, known as Heller Myotomy, is the classical approach to achalasia. When first described, led to excellent results but with high incidence and severe gastroesophageal reflux. With the association of a partial fundoplication, surgical myotomy has become the standard of care for achalasia, leading to relief of dysphagia and GER control. This presentation on surgical treatment for achalasia is presented by Marco Patti from the University of North Carolina (USA). • Find out more about Achalasia at https://www.isde.net/Achalasia • Learn more about the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus at https://www.isde.net • Watch other videos from this virtual presentation • Update on pathophysiology and work up for achalasia • Update on pathophysiology and work up... • Update on endoscopic treatment for achalasia • Update on endoscopic treatment for Ac... • Surgical treatment for achalasia • Surgical treatment for Achalasia • Effects of Post Myotomy GER in Achalasic Patients: Data from a 65 Years Long Follow-up Program • Effects of post myotomy GER in achala... • Achalasia Case Discussion • Achalasia Case Discussion • ------------------- • This presentation was part of the virtual presentation on Multidisciplinary approaches to Achalasia held on July 29, 2020, moderated by Simon Law, University of Hong Kong (China) and Lawrence Ho Khek-Yu, National University of Singapore (Singapore). • ISDE wishes to recognize and thank the following individuals for their contributions to this virtual presentation: • • Vani Konda, Baylor University Medical Center (USA) • • Haruhiro Inoue, Showa University (Japan) • • Marco Patti, University of North Carolina (USA) • • Sandro Mattioli, University of Bologna (Italy) • • André Brandalise, University of Campinas (Brazil)
