Quality of Life After Operation for End-Stage Achalasia: Pull-Down Heller-Dor Versus Esophagectomy

Valentina Tassi et al.

Summary: The study compared pull-down Heller-Dor and esophagectomy for end-stage achalasia patients in terms of quality of life and objective outcomes. The results showed no significant differences in dysphagia, reflux symptoms, or esophagitis, but pull-down Heller-Dor had better outcomes in physical functioning, emotional functioning, vitality, mental health, and social functioning compared to esophagectomy.

Risk of Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus in Patients With Achalasia: A Long-Term Prospective Cohort Study in Italy

Rocco Maurizio Zagari et al.

Summary: This long-term prospective cohort study found that patients with achalasia have a higher risk of developing both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus compared to the general population, with men having a higher risk. However, the annual incidence rate of esophageal cancer is relatively low, which may have implications for endoscopic surveillance of patients with achalasia.
