ACHALASIA CARDIA Achalasia Cardia, also known as oesophageal achalasia or often referred to simply as achalasia, is a basically a failure of lower esophageal sphincter to relax properly when food is entering from the food pipe into the stomach. There may be increased tension in the lower oesophageal sphincter and decreased peristalsis of the oesophagus (peristalsis - movement of gut to push food forward) STAR Hospital - Region's First Internationally Certified Super-Specialist Centre for Bariatric Surgery | Weight Loss Surgery | Metabolic Surgery | Diabetes Surgery Dr. Jasmeet Singh Ahluwalia (MS, FNB-MAS, FBMS) Super-Specialist Bariatric, Metabolic & Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon Star Hospital 265, Lajpat Nagar, Guru Nanak Mission Chowk, Jalandhar, Punjab, 144001 Helpline: +91-9888958889 Website: http://drjasmeetahluwalia.com YouTube channel :    / drjasmeetsinghahluwalia   Facebook page:   / drjasmeetahluwalia   Google Map Link - Dr Jasmeet Singh : http://location.drjasmeetahluwalia.com Star Hospital : http://location.thestarhospital.com Appointment: 0181-4674888 For International Patients- Tour planning & help in medical visa Airport pickup and drop Deluxe Suit Local accomodation Long term followup from India Causes- Primary Achalasia - In most cases no cause can be determined and hence are classified as primary type. There is failure of distal esophageal inhibitory neurons. Secondary Achalasia - Some patients may have underlying condition like cancer of food pipe, Chagas disease (an infectious disease), Triple A syndrome etc. Symptoms- Dysphagia - Difficulty in swallowing liquids and solids Regurgitation - Food and liquid coming back to mouth Chest pain - Pain in upper abdomen or chest Weight loss Tests- Barium Swallow X-ray - Multiple X-rays are done after giving contrast material to the patient to swallow and its passage is checked by doing X-rays a few times. The contrast will not pass normally and food pipe is seen dilated in cases of achalasia cardia. Esophageal manometry - This test measures the pressure of the food pipe. The pressure of the lower oesophageal sphincter is seen as abnormally high or is seen not to relax in response to swallowing as it should normally and pressure in the food pipe may be seen as low or its peristalsis may be abnormal. Treatment- Surgery - Laparoscopic Heller’s Cardiomyotomy is the gold standard treatment for achalasia cardia which is quite safe and gives best long term relief from symptoms. Since it’s done with key hole method, recovery is very fast and relief of symptoms happens very quickly. Muscles of tight sphincter as well as some surrounding muscles are split open to relieve the spasm which allows easy passage of food. Along with that, a fundoplication is added which prevents reflux of acid and food back into food pipe after surgery. Balloon Dilatation - By doing endoscopy (inserting a flexible scope from mouth) muscle fibers are stretched and slightly torn by forceful inflation of a balloon placed inside the lower esophageal sphincter. There is always a small risk of a perforation during this procedure and many patients may require repeated sittings. The fibrosis resulting from this procedure make laparoscopic surgery later more difficult. Medicines - Certain drugs may be useful but their action is often short lived and they many a times cause unpleasant side effects in patients limiting their role in achalasia cardia #STARHospital #AchalasiaCardiaLaparoscopicSurgery #POEM
