    Background/aims: The evidence suggests that a shorter esophageal length (EL) in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients is associated with the presence of hiatal hernia (HH). However, there are no reports of this association in patients with achalasia. The aim is to (1) determine the prevalence of hiatal hernia in achalasia patients, (2) compare achalasia EL with GERD patients and healthy volunteers (HV), (3) measure achalasia manometric esophageal length to height (MELH) ratio, and (4) determine if there are differences in symptoms between patients with and without hiatal hernia. Methods: This retrospective and cross-sectional study consist of 87 pre-surgical achalasia patients, 22 GERD patients, and 30 HV. High-resolution manometry (HRM), barium swallow, and upper endoscopy were performed to diagnose HH. The EL and MELH ratio were measured by HRM. Symptoms were assessed with Eckardt, Eating Assessment Tool, and GERD-health-related quality of life questionnaires.

    Background: Episodic angina-like retrosternal pain is a prevalent symptom for achalasia patients pre- and post-treatment. The cause of postoperative chest pain remains poorly understood. Moreover, there are no reports on their predictive value for chest pain in the long-term post-treatment. The effect of laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) and fundoplication techniques (Dor vs. Toupet) is unclear. Methods: We analyzed a cohort of 129 achalasia cases treated with LHM and randomly assigned fundoplication technique. All the patients were diagnosed with achalasia by high-resolution manometry (HRM). Patients were followed up at 1-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month post-treatment. We implemented unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analyses to evaluate the predictive significance of pre- and post-operative clinical factors. Copyright © 2022 Frontiers in Medicine
