TRANSCRIPT
The benign disorders of the
esophagus
Paszt Attila
ESOPHAGEAL DIVERTICULUM
• PULSION TYPE: the protrusion of
mucosa and submucosa through a
weakness or defect in the musculature
• TRACTION TYPE: The pulling
outward of the esophageal wall from
inflamed and scarred peribronchial
mediastinal lymph nodes
PHARYNGOESOPHAGEAL
(ZENKER’S) DIVERTICULUM
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Most common of the esophageal
diverticula
• Pulsion type
• More frequent in men
• Most patients are over 60
PHARYNGOESOPHAGEAL
(ZENKERS’S) DIVERTICULUM
CLINICAL FINDINGS
• Dysphagia, pressure symptoms, gurgling
sounds in the neck
• Regurgitation of undigested food
• Manual emptying of the diverticulum by the
patients
• Swelling of the neck, a sour metallic taste in
the mouth
PHARYNGOESOPHAGEAL
(ZENKER’S) DIVERTICULUM
COMPLICATIONS
• Regurgitation, aspiration, pulmonary infection
• Perforation, mediastinitis, paraoesophageal abscess
• Bleeding, fistula formation
PHARYNGOESOPHAGEAL
(ZENKERS’S) DIVERTICULUM
Diagnostic tests
• Barium swallow, fluoroscopic examination
(a smoothly rounded outpouching arising
posteriorly in the midline of the neck)
• Esophagoscopy
• Manometry
Surgical treatment for Zenker
diverticulum
Conventional surgery: crycopharyngeal myotomy +
diverticulectomy or diverticulum suspension
Endoscopic approach (Mosher, 1917)
diathermic/laser dissection (Dohlman, Mattsson
1960)
Endoscopic stapling diverticulostomy (Collard,
1993)
• Light and short general anaesthesia
• Short operation time and hospital stay
• Low risk of perforation of diverticular pouch
• No injury of reccurent nerve
• Early resumption of oral feeding
• Complete relief of dysphagia
• No scar in neck

Hiatal hernias
PARAESOPHAGEAL HIATAL
HERNIA
All or part of the stomach herniates
into the thorax immediately adjacent
and to the left of an undisplaced
gastroesophageal junction
Less than 10% of hernias of the
esophageal hiatus
PARAESOPHAGEAL HIATAL
HERNIA
SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS• Often asymptomatic• Gaseous eructations• Sense of pressure• Palpitation due to cardiac dysrhythmias
COMPLICATIONS• Ulceration – bleeding• Obstruction• Strangulation, incarceration
PARAESOPHAGEAL HIATAL
HERNIA
TREATMENT
SURGERY
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIA
GENERAL CONSIDERATION
• 90% of hernias at the esophageal hiatus
• The upper stomach, along with the cardioesophageal junction, is displaced upward into the posterior mediastinum
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIA - GERD
Confusing pathogenic relationship
• Most patients (>80%) with clinically significant reflux have a hiatal hernia
• The converse is not true – the majority of the patients with sliding hiatal hernia do not have esophagitis (GERD)
• The LES pressure is the deciding factor• Reflux is more likely to occur at given LES pressure
in patients with hernias• Reflux is unlikely in the presence of higher LES
pressure regardless of hernia status
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIA
SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
Typical
• Heartburn
• Acid regurgitation
• Hypersalivation
• Odynophagia
• Unobstructive
dysphagia
Atypical
• Angina like chest pain
• Cough
• Nonallergic asthma
• Chronic bronchitis
• Pneumonia
• Hoarsness
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIA
DIAGNOSIS
• 24-hour pH monitoring• Manometry of LES• Endoscopy with biopsy• Barium esophagogram• Prolonged motility monitoring• Acid perfusion test (Bernstein test)• Radionuclide studies
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIA
COMPLICATIONS
• Esophagitis
GR. 1. Redness without erosions
GR. 2. Linear erosions
GR. 3. Erosions coalesce
GR. 4. Stricture, ulcer
• Stricture (10%)
• Barrett’s esophagus
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIATREATMENT
1. Lifestyle changes
• Modify diet if symptoms are related to diet
• Lose weight if overweight (is always
beneficial)
• Reduce smoking and alcohol intake (is
always beneficial)
• Avoid supine position after meals
• Avoid certain drugs if they related to
symptoms
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIA
TREATMENT
II. Pharmacologic management
• Antacids
• Sucralfate
• Prokinetic drugs
• H2 receptor antagonists
• Acid pump inhibitors
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIA
TREATMENT
SurgeryIndications• Persistant or recurrent symptoms despite
good medical therapy• Recurrent esophageal stricture• Esophagotracheal aspiration resulting
recurrent pneumonia, asthma or laryngitis
• Barrett esophagus, linear gastric erosions
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIA
TREATMENT
Surgery
Laparoscopic or open antireflux procedure
• Nissen fundoplication (wrapping part of the
fundus completely around the lower 4-6 cm of
the esophagus)
• Belsey-Mark IV fundoplication
• Collis procedure (acquiered short esophagus)
SLIDING HIATAL HERNIA
STRICTURES
• Endoscopic dilatations
• Esophagus resection with jejunum or
colon interposition
ACHALASIA
DEFINITION
• Achalasia „lack of relaxation”
• Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder
characterized by abscence of esophageal
peristalsis and failure of the lower
esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax
completely on swallowing
ACHALASIA
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Neuromuscular disorders• Etiology• Abscence, atrophy or desintegration of the
ganglion cells Auerbach’s myenteric plexuses• Infectious cause – Chagas’ disease
(trypanosoma cruzi) • Incidence:
0.5 per 100 000no sex predilectionpeak years are 30-60
ACHALASIACLINICAL FINDINGS
• SymptomsDysphagiaRegurgitation, aspirationHeartburnWeight loss (variable)
• ComplicationsUlceration – haemorrhage (occult)Aspiration – pneumonitis, pulmonary abscessMalnutritionCarcinoma (5% of all cases)
ACHALASIA
DIAGNOSIS
• X-ray findings/barium esophagogram- narrowing at the cardia- dilated body of the esophagus
• Manometry- absent peristalsis of the distal segment of the esophagus- elevated LES pressure- incomplete sphincter relaxation
• Endoscopy
ACHALASIA
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
• Benign strictures
• Infiltrating intramural carcinoma
• Scleroderma
ACHALASIATREATMENT
• Drug therapynitrates, calcium channel blockers, nifedipine
• Pneumatic dilatationsuccessful in 75% of casescomplications (bleeding, perforation)
• Surgery(1) extramucous cardiomyotomy (Heller
operation)Laparoscopic – traditional technique(2) esophagus resection
