Abstract

Background

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term clinical outcome of the laparoscopic Heller Dor procedure for esophageal achalasia.

Methods

A total of 71 consecutive patients with a minimum 6 year follow-up were evaluated. These patients were seen at 1 and 6 months after the operation (at which time barium swallow, endoscopy, manometry, and pH monitoring were performed), and annually thereafter. A dedicated symptom score, that combined severity and frequency of symptoms was used.

Results

The median symptom score decreased from 22 (range, 9-29) preoperatively to 4 (range, 0-16) at last follow-up, (p < 0.01). During the follow-up period, 13 patients suffered symptom recurrence; seven of them (54%) had already been diagnosed at the 1-year follow-up. All of these patients were treated with complementary pneumatic dilations. Overall, at a minimum of 6- years after the operation, 81.7% of the patients were satisfied with the treatment and were able to eat normally.

Conclusions

The long-term outcome of laparoscopic surgical treatment of esophageal achalasia is only slightly affected by the length of the follow-up and most of the symptomatic failures occur in the early period after the operation.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
