These videos should help people to understand achalasia and the

difference between classic and vigorous achalasia.

The associated article is excellent - as much information as I've seen

in one place about A, and several other GI disorders as well. Nice

find sir. Thanks!

W.G. Paterson, M.D., Raj K. Goyal, M.D. and Fortunée Irene Habib, M.D.

Get it together notan! You should have also given the link to the image

index which is here:

http://www.nature.com/gimo/figures/index.html

And has the following image index pages with achalasia related images:

Esophageal motility disorders (the article in the other message)

http://www.nature.com/gimo/contents/pt1/fig_tab/gimo20_ft.html

Endoscopic evaluation of esophageal motility disorders

Medical and endoscopic management of achalasia

http://www.nature.com/gimo/contents/pt1/fig_tab/gimo52_ft.html

The one to see here is the one about the fibers but the tables are also

interesting.

Those videos of the Heller's myotomy scared the crap out of me....it looks way too easy to cut the Vagus nerve. I want to know what the rate of accidentally cutting that nerve is....it does not seemed to be mentioned in the review articles. I remember someone on the list describing their terrible situation with this. Does anyone have more info about this potential complication? - Jeff

I can't think of anyone who has had the vagus nerve cut in my 5+ years on this board. Maybe some perforations in the mucosal lining, but those are fairly easily repaired. Those were videos of a barium swallow.... not the myotomy. Don't look at myotomy ones if you can't stand blood. The barium swallow is about the easiest test we take. I don't look at the videos of surgery, freak me out.

The whole key is getting to the best surgeon you can physically and financially get to. Probably less than 15 that we commonly use on this board in the US. It looks the same to us, but to a surgeon there is no way of making a mistake like that.

I'd say, you can worry about a whole lot of other problems more likely than cutting the vagus nerve. Not meaning you should start a new list to worry about. Are you looking for a reason to avoid surgery in your subconscious and that was first one you saw?
