[Report on surgical strategy in reoperation of esophageal achalasia].
Surgical therapy for achalasia of the esophagus gives good results in only 80-90% of cases. Several reasons could be responsible for this 10-20% failure; the most frequent causes are inadequate cardiomyotomy and reflux esophagitis. We report our experience and our procedure in the management of recurrent achalasia. The most important controversies are also discussed.
