Achalasia is an unusual motility disorder that can be seen in conjunction with obesity. The prevalence of achalasia is unknown in obese patients and when present, the clinical characteristics are atypical. We report a case of achalasia that was diagnosed 13 years after a vertical-banded gastroplasty

Outcomes of laparoscopic Heller myotomy in obese patients with achalasia are suboptimal along with the increased risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The impact of obesity on treatment success and GERD after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) are not well known. Hence, our

Morbid obesity is a disease encompassing multiple, significant comorbidities. The only current, reliable, durable treatment of obesity is surgical intervention, most commonly gastric bypass. Achalasia, a swallowing disorder of esophageal motility and failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)

Achalasia is a relatively rare condition with a prevalence estimated at less than 0.001 %. Laparoscopic or robotic Heller myotomy is an effective surgical treatment for achalasia. We present the first published case of a morbidly obese achalasia patient treated with robotic Heller myotomy and Dor

The development of achalasia in patients with a prior Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is rare and it often remains unclear whether the esophageal motility disorder is a pre-existing condition in the obese patient or develops de novo after the procedure. The aim of this study was to review the

BACKGROUND
Achalasia is a condition that occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to properly relax, combined with slowing/failure of esophageal peristalsis. This is seen clinically by not allowing solids and liquids to pass easily into the stomach. Achalasia is not historically

Achalasia presenting in the context of morbid obesity is rare. The case is presented of a woman with achalasia and morbid obesity who was treated with simultaneous laparoscopic esophageal myotomy and gastric bypass. The sparse literature addressing these rare patients is reviewed and management

Achalasia is a rare oesophageal motility disorder which classically is not associated with obesity. We present the case of a 50-year-old woman who underwent gastric bypass and afterwards was diagnosed with achalasia. Following, she was treated successfully with peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). A

BACKGROUND
Morbid obesity and achalasia may coexist in the same patient. The surgical management of the morbidly obese patient with achalasia is complex, and the most effective treatment still remains controversial. The goal of our report is to provide our evidence-based approach for the surgical

Background: The association between morbid obesity and esophageal achalasia is very infrequent. However, over the last decade, these cases started to increase because of the disturbing rise of morbid obesity worldwide. Heller myotomy (HM) and laparoscopic fundoplication represent the

Purpose: The optimal management of achalasia in obese patients is unclear. For those who have undergone Heller myotomy and fundoplication, the long-term outcomes and their impressions following surgery are largely unknown.

BACKGROUND
The simultaneous occurrence of achalasia and morbid obesity is rare. Nevertheless, the surgical therapy of morbid obesity may be harmful, if undiagnosed achalasia were left untreated. We report the clinical presentation and response to treatment of achalasia in the context of morbid

Achalasia is a relatively rare medical condition that is classically not associated with obesity. The surgical treatment of a simultaneous occurrence of these two diseases requires careful consideration, and only a few reports can be found in the literature combining a Heller myotomy with gastric

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that obesity is frequently associated with esophageal motility disorders. Morbid obesity and achalasia may coexist in the same patient. The management of the morbidly obese patient with achalasia is complex and the most effective treatment remains

Weight loss is a frequent finding in achalasia because of the difficulty in swallowing. Although manometric findings compatible with achalasia have been found in morbidly obese patients, all of them were asymptomatic. The authors report a case of symptomatic achalasia and morbid obesity in a
