Abstract

A modification of intussusception ureterectomy is described. Dilatation of the ureter is unnecessary before the procedure and closure of the bladder wall defect is recommended to avoid urine extravasation.

Minimally invasive surgery for esophageal achalasia.

Esophageal achalasia is the most commonly diagnosed primary esophageal motor disorder and the second most common functional esophageal disorder. Current therapy of achalasia is directed toward elimination of the outflow resistance caused by failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax completely upon swallowing. The advent of minimally invasive surgery has nearly replaced endoscopic pneumatic dilation as the first-line therapeutic approach. In this editorial, the rationale and the evidence supporting the use of laparoscopic Heller myotomy combined with fundoplication as a primary treatment of achalasia are reviewed.

Oesophagitis dissecans superficialis complicating repeated rigid oesophagoscopy and dilatation.

Oesophagitis dissecans superficialis is an extremely rare and benign condition where the mucosal epithelium of the oesophagus sloughs off along the whole length of the oesophagus and is expelled as an oesophageal cast. This condition has been reported in association with various aetiological factors. We report a case of an oesophageal cast in a patient who underwent repeated oesophagoscopy and dilatation for a postcricoid web. We discuss the possible relationship between trauma to the upper oesophagus and the development of oesophagitis dissecans superficialis.
