[Outcomes of cardiac achalasia grade II-III management].

AIM: To analyze early and remote results of the new method of cardiac achalasia grade II-III management.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Original surgical approach was applied in 21 patients with cardiac achalasia grade II-III.

RESULTS: There were no any specific postoperative complications and deaths. Exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis, acute stomach ulcer and biliary peritonitis were observed in 3 cases respectively. All patients were followed-up within the period from 1.5 months to 5 years after surgery. Recurrent disease was absent. All employable patients have backed to work.

CONCLUSION: According to clinical and instrumental data original surgical repair completely cures the symptoms of cardiac achalasia and restores normal esophageal dimensions and structure early after intervention.
