Abstract

Recently, video-assisted surgical approaches for achalasia have been adopted by many surgeons. Many reports showed that the minimal invasive video-assisted operations for Ihe achalasia revealed such good results as the conventional operations via thoracotomy. In some studies, among the minimal invasive video assisted surgeries for achalasia, the laparascopic assisted operations have some advantages mainly in respect to patient satisfaction over the thoracoscopic assisted surgeries. In this case, the patient had not responded to repeated balloon dilatation, and we made 5 small incisions over the abdominal wall and performed an esophageal myotomy and partial anterior fundoplication by laparascopic guide. The patient's symptoms were almost relieved, and the postoperative radiologic findings were satisfactory.

식도이완불능증 환자의 수술은 내시경을 이용한 최소 절개술로써 개복술에 상응하는 성적을 거두고 있다. 최근에는 복강경을 이용한 식도근절개술과 위저부성형술을 통해 기존에 시행되던 흉강경을 사용한 식도근 절개술보다 환자의 만족도에서 좋은 결과를 보이는 경우가 보고된 바 있다. 이 증례에서는 풍선확장술로써 치유되지 않는 식도이완불능증을 가지고 있는 15세의 남자 환자에서 5개의 작은 절개창을 통한 복부내시경을 이용하여 식도근절제술과 위저부성형술을 시행하여 증상을 현저히 개선하고 방사선적, 임상적 객관적 치료효과를 성공적으로 치험하였다.
