10 Post-operative Care andComplications
Due to extensive mediastinal dissection, subcutaneous emphysema is commonly observed. This is rarely of clinical signicance as long as the anesthesiologist has been attentive to the patient’s PCO2 during the procedure. Another relatively com­mon intra-operative complication is a pleural entry. This is usually managed by communication with the anesthesiologist and altering the ventilation mode without the need for any intervention. If the pleural spaces are entered it can be helpful to extend this pleurotomy widely to avoid tension capnothorax. Routine drain place­ment is not typical but can be used to evacuate uid and gas within the mediastinum in the immediate postoperative period. Other peri-operative complications include atrial brillation, bleeding, deep venous thrombosis, and pneumonia, among others.
Most patients can begin with a liquid meal within the rst 24h of the operation. Patients rapidly advance to a pureed or soft diet and remain on this diet for about 2weeks. Most patients can be discharged on post-operative day number 1 or 2. A proportion of patients have delayed gastric emptying after this procedure. This is more likely in the case of intrathoracic stomach. It is often self limited but if pro­longed may require postpyloric feeding for a period of time.
Antiemetics should be used to avoid postoperative nausea and vomiting. Immediate reherniation of the stomach in the postoperative period is a feared com­plication and should be suspected if there is dysphagia postoperatively. Routine postoperative imaging is not typical but can be performed if there is suspicion for reherniation, or esophageal or stomach injury.
Patients can be taken off of proton pump inhibitors after surgery, though if esophagitis is present on intraoperative endoscopy this is typically continued for 2weeks postoperatively. Patients with Barrett’s esophagus are advised to consider continuing proton pump inhibitors.
Radiologic, objective recurrence rates (re-herniation >than 2 cm) have been reported to occur in approximately 40–60% of patients after laparoscopic repair of paraesophageal hernia [20, 35], however, most patients with noted recurrences report no return of symptoms. Despite radiographic evidence of recurrence after a

large hiatal hernia repair, most patients report enduring and dramatic symptomatic improvement [27, 31].
Studies report long-term relief of symptoms in 75–87% of patients and a 61–91% satisfaction rate with the result of the procedure [16, 31, 35].
11 Summary
Paraesophageal hernia has an underlying pathophysiology that is fundamentally dif­ferent from GERD.Appropriate hiatal repair requires an understanding of the com­plexity of the anatomy of the herniated stomach. Repair of a symptomatic paraesophageal hernia can have a profoundly positive impact on patient quality of life. Elective paraesophageal hernia repair is frequently well tolerated and has a fairly low morbidity rate, while emergent repair of an incarcerated and/or strangu­lated hernia has a proportionally higher morbidity and mortality rate [36]. Thus, elective repair is recommended for patients with symptomatic para-esophageal hia­tal hernia and laparoscopic repair is the standard of care. We describe the operative approach to achieve the critical goals of paraesophageal hernia repair:
1. reduction of the hernia contents
2. excision of the hernia sac,
3. complete esophageal mobilization,
4. crural repair, and
5. antireux operation

Minimally Invasive Treatment ofAchalasia

1 Introduction
The incidence of achalasia is thought to be around 0.3–1.6 per 100,000 persons per year [1]. It can present in any age group but peaks between 30 and 60years old and does not have a predilection for gender or race [2]. Pathophysiology of the disease involves degeneration of the inhibitory neurons of the myenteric plexus that inner­vate the lower esophageal sphincter causing increased resting tone and poor relax­ation. This functional obstruction causes dilation of the esophagus, and eventually leads to irreversible aperistalsis and worsening symptoms.
It is not clear what causes achalasia, but an association has been shown with autoimmune, infectious, and hereditary causes [3]. Pseudoachalasia results from tumors in the distal esophagus causing inltration or intrinsic compression, which mimics true achalasia but warrants a different treatment pathway than described here.
2 Presentation
Patients will present with classic achalasia symptoms of dysphagia, chest pain, regurgitation and unintentional weight loss. Dysphagia is often progressive, rst to solids then to solids and liquids. Patients will often report waking up at night with a choking sensation or will regurgitate undigested food especially after laying down. Heartburn may be present in 27–42% of patients with achalasia; patients are fre­quently misdiagnosed as having gastroesophageal reux disease (GERD) and

treated with proton pump inhibitors [4]. There are several scoring systems that exist for achalasia symptoms, but the Eckardt Symptom Score is the one most frequently used to determine severity of disease [5] (Table1). Scores range from 0–12; a score of 2–3 corresponds to stage I, 4–6 to stage II, and >6 to stage III.
3 Evaluation andDiagnosis
Patients with suspected achalasia should undergo a series of tests beginning with an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) to rule out underlying malignancy, strictures, etc. EGD may reveal a dilated esophagus (41%) with retained food and liquid (41%), stasis esophagitis (16%), and/or a hypertonic lower esophageal sphincter (94%) [6]. A timed barium esophagram usually reveals a dilated esophagus with retained contents, and a smooth tapering at the gastroesophageal junction, i.e. a classic bird’s beak appearance (Fig.1). Additional X-rays are shot at 1 and 5min time points after the patient swallows the low density barium suspension, and the height and width of the column of contrast is measured. The majority of healthy individuals will empty their esophagus in 1min and all will empty in 5min, whereas achalasia patients will hold onto the column for 5min. High resolution manometry (HRM) is the gold standard for diagnosing achalasia (Fig. 2). The Chicago Classication version 4.0 [7] is the current classication algorithm for interpreting HRM and identifying primary esophageal motility disorders including achalasia. Furthermore, it allows determination of the subtype of the disease (Types I-III) which can inform treatment. All types are characterized by 100% failed peristalsis. Type I achalasia is “classic” achalasia, without pressurization in the esophageal

body. Type II, the most common type has 20% of swallows with panesophageal pressurization. Type III is marked by 20% premature contractions, with or without panesophageal pressurization.
Included in the Chicago Classication 4.0 is a new testing modality called Endoip™ (Functional Lumen Imaging Probe) Impedance Planimetry. A catheter­based balloon device, it evaluates the lower esophageal sphincter by assessing pres­sure, diameter and real time contraction patterns. The two main objective measurements are distensibility index and diameter. Not only can EndoFLIP™ be used in diagnosis, but it is also useful to gauge adequacy of a myotomy if used intraoperatively.

4 Treatment ofAchalasia
4.1 Medical Management
Oral pharmacological therapies target relaxation of the smooth muscle of the lower esophageal sphincter. They include nitrates and calcium channel blockers. Use of nitrates, such as isosorbide dinitrate, is limited by its poor efcacy and signicant side effects (hypotension, headache, ushing). Calcium channel blockers are pre­ferred over nitrates, but still only 55–75% effective with 30% of people experienc­ing adverse effects such as bradycardia and hypotension [8]. Both drugs also induce tachyphylaxis, and relief can be short lived. For these reasons, treatment with medi­cations is only reserved for those who are not able to undergo or refuse all other interventions.

4.2 Endoscopic Therapies
4.2.1 Pneumatic Dilation
Pneumatic Dilation (PD) is aimed at disruption of the circular muscle bers of the lower esophageal sphincter. It is more effective when compared to medical manage­ment, and it is an accepted rst-line therapy for achalasia. Predictors of symptom relief after dilation include female gender, older age, and type II achalasia [9]. Approximately 70–90% of patients respond with some symptom improvement to PD initially [10]. However, over one third of these patients will go on to require repeat or more invasive interventions [11]. PD is performed with a balloon dilator. The achalasia balloon comes in three sizes (ranging from 30 to 40mm) and is used with uoroscopic guidance. The most worrisome complications are perforation (1–3%) [12] and bleeding.
4.2.2 Botulinum Toxin Injection
Botulinum Toxin injection of the lower esophageal sphincter is reserved for patients who are not candidates for pneumatic dilation or endoscopic/surgical myotomies. The most commonly used injectable is Botox (botulinum toxin type A, Allergan Inc., Irvine, California, USA). The injection is done during esophagogastroduode­noscopy. A total of 100units of Botox is injected into four quadrants of the LES.This results in decreased LES pressure, and the majority of people experience symptom improvement. There is a reported 80–90% initial response rate [13] that can last up to 4–6months.
4.2.3 Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy
The rst endoscopic myotomy for achalasia was performed in 2008in Japan [14]. The procedure in its current form has been shown to be non-inferior to a laparo­scopic Heller myotomy in regards to symptom relief [15]. In fact, it is the preferred approach for type III achalasia because of the ability to perform a longer esophageal myotomy [16]. Unlike the Heller myotomy, the POEM is not performed in conjunc­tion with an anti-reux procedure. Therefore, there are signicantly higher rates of pathologic reux with POEM (44% vs. 29%) [16]. However, the majority of patients with post-POEM reux are successfully managed with proton pump inhibitors.
The procedure begins with a diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy, taking note of the Z-line location. A distal end cap attachment is placed onto the end of the scope to assist with unobstructed viewing. A site is then chosen for the mucosotomy which can be done on the anterior or posterior side of the esophagus, 12cm proxi­mal to the gastroesophageal junction. A submucosal lift with a mixture of methy­lene blue or indigo carmine diluted with normal saline is performed using an

endoscopic injection needle, followed by a longitudinal 2cm mucosotomy. The tunnel is entered with the endoscope and extended to approximately 3cm beyond the high pressure zone of the gastroesophageal junction (Fig.3). The endoscope is withdrawn and the circular muscle myotomy is performed starting just beyond the mucosotomy (Fig.4). This is carried distally through the LES and at least 2–3cm onto the gastric side. The extent of myotomy can be conrmed with the double endoscope technique using transillumination within the tunnel and a second retro­exed pediatric endoscope in the stomach [17]. Once complete, the endoscope is withdrawn from the tunnel and the mucosotomy is closed using through the scope hemaclips. Alternatively, it can be endoluminally sutured.
