ABSTRACT

Esophageal achalasia occasionally requires esophagogastrectomy, hence the transhiatal way is selected, preferably using minimal access and fleboextractor. The objective of this paper is to assess the use of fleboextractor as a replacement of minimally invasive transhiatal esophageal dissection in a patient with esophageal achalasia. This procedure was performed in a 37 years-old patient with disphagia, major esophageal dilation and protein-energetic undernourishment, who had been operated on twice from esophageal achalasia by using minimally invasive esophagomyotomy. The operation lasted 4 hours, without further complications and 4 day-length of stay at hospital. The minimally invasive transhiatal esophagectomy carries all the advantages of the minimum access procedure for some patients with achalasia, and the use of a fleboextractor can speed up the surgical procedure in a safe way.
