Aktuelle Therapie der Achalasie 2019

Abstract: ZusammenfassungDie Therapie der primär idiopathischen Achalasie, der häufigsten der seltenen Ösophagusmotilitätsstörungen, unterliegt derzeit einem Wandel. Zunehmend setzt sich das Prinzip der „Heller-Myotomie“ als Standard durch. Mit der von dem deutschen Chirurgen Ernst Heller im Jahr 1913 erstbeschriebenen Kardiomyotomie lässt sich meist eine sehr gute Symptomkontrolle erzielen. Metaanalysen randomisierter Studien (Level-1A-Evidenz) zeigen die Überlegenheit der laparoskopischen Heller-Myotomie (LHM) gegenüb… Show more

“…The multiple treatment modalities for this disorder include medications (calcium channel blockers), endoscopic interventions (balloon dilatation, botulinum toxin injection, or peroral endoscopic myotomy POEM), and surgery (the Heller cardiomyotomy procedure) [ 4 ]. Heller described his initial experience of performing myotomy in 1913, in which he divided the anterior and posterior esophageal muscle fibers [ 5 ]. The surgical technique has been modified to include only division of the anterior muscle fibers, and it is now the standard myotomy procedure [ 6 ].…”

“…After 10 years of consistent safety and efficacy, POEM is now being performed worldwide and has been increasingly used in Latin America where Chagas disease is prevalent. Reports on POEM for Chagas disease are scarce [ 7 - 21 ]. POEM in Chagas disease is technically more challenging than in patients with achalasia, due to a higher rate of submucosal scarring [ 21 ], most likely related to chronic esophagitis caused by esophageal stasis (clinical observation, unpublished data).…”

“…LHM with partial fundoplication has demonstrated superior efficacy over BTI and PD in various studies and became the time-honored treatment of choice in achalasia patients. 6 LHM provides long-standing relief of dysphagia in up to 90% (range 76-100%) of the patients with low complication rate. 7 Owing to the progressive nature of achalasia, the success rates of LHM have also been noted to decrease to 65-85% at a followup of 5 years.…”
