Abstract

Surgery remains the first choice for achalasia of the esophagus with good results in 90% of cases. We studied the cause of failure for surgical treatment and the results of a second operation in 20 patients that were followed up for at least three years. The results were good in 70% of the cases. To improve this procedure, according to the authors, it is essential for a careful presurgery evaluation, an early reoperation in case of failure and a careful surgical technique in order to avoid periesophageal sclerosis.
