Abstract
We report a case of a radical operation performed laparoscopically on recurrent esophageal achalasia. A 70-year-old man was underwent laparoscopic Heller-Dor operation for esophageal achalasia in another hospital, then he complained of dysphagia immediately after surgery. Despite internal medical treatment such as endoscopic dilatation was performed, symptoms did not improve. Then, he was referred to our hospital for reoperation. After 65 months from first operation, laparoscopic Jekler-Lhotka operation was performed. We diagnosed that reason of recurrence was incomplete myotomy at first operation. The patient’s dysphagia disappeared after second surgery, and reccurence has not been observed for 9 months.
