[Primary prevention of reflux esophagitis in achalasia of cardia].

Aim of the study was to compare the incidence of reflux esophagitis in patients with achalasia cardia after successful surgical treatment with balloon dilatation and ezofago-cardio-seromyotomy followed by fundoplication according toToupet type. The study included only those patients with eliminated symptoms of dysphagia. All patients were divided into two groups depending on the method of treatment. In the first group (20 patients) performed balloon dilatation, second group (20 patients)--laparoscopic ezofagocardioseromiotomiya followed by fundoplication according type Toupet. Results evaluated one year after the intervention. Revealed that the incidence of reflux esophagitis were significantly higher in group of patients after balloon dilatation, than in the group of operated patients--40 and 15% respectively (p < 0,05). Received results allow to reconsider approaches to the selection of treatment method of achalasia cardia in favor of laparoscopic ezofagocardioseromitomii with the formation of posterior cuff-type Toupet.
