High-resolution esophageal manometry [HRM] has become the gold standard for the evaluation of esophageal motility disorders. It is unclear whether there are HRM differences in diagnostic outcome based on regional or geographic distribution. The diagnostic outcome of HRM in a diverse geographical population of Mexico was compared and determined if t...

A high risk of complications still accompanies gastric conduit reconstruction after esophagectomy. In this narrative review, we summarize the technological progress and the problems of gastric conduit reconstruction after esophagectomy. Several types of gastric conduits exist, including the whole stomach and the narrow gastric tube. The clinical ou...

Mucosal impedance is a marker of esophageal mucosal integrity and a novel technique for assessing esophageal function and pathology. This article highlights its development and clinical application for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus, and eosinophilic esophagitis. A narrative review of key publications describing the dev...

Reasons for structural and outcome differences in esophageal cancer surgery in Western Europe remain unclear. This questionnaire study aimed to identify differences in the organization of esophageal cancer surgical care in Western Europe. A cross-sectional international questionnaire study was conducted among upper gastrointestinal (GI) surgeons fr...

In patients with dysphagia that is not explained by upper endoscopy, high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) is the next logical step in diagnostic testing. This study investigated predictors of failure to refer for HRM after an upper endoscopy that was performed for but did not explain dysphagia. This was a retrospective cohort study of patient...

Esophagectomy and lymphadenectomy have been the standard of care for patients at high risk (HR) of lymph node metastasis following a diagnosis of early esophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) after endoscopic resection (ER). However, recent cohorts suggest lymph node metastasis risk is lower than initially estimated, suggesting organ preservation with clos...

Acid reflux has been associated with allograft injury and rejection in lung transplant patients; however, the pathogenic role of non-acid reflux remains debated. We aimed to evaluate the impact of concurrent abnormal non-acid reflux with acid reflux on chronic rejection in lung transplant patients with acid reflux. This was a retrospective cohort s...

Previous studies have shown that surgical residents can safely perform a variation of complex abdominal surgeries when provided with adequate training, proper case selection, and appropriate supervision. Their outcomes are equivalent when compared to experienced board-certified surgeons. Our previously published training curriculum for robotic assi...

The aim of this review is to provide an overview of per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and its utilization in non-achalasia disorders of the esophagus. POEM, a relatively novel endoscopic technique, involves submucosal tunneling to access esophageal muscle layers, enabling selective myotomy and mitigating the consequences of motor disorders of the ...
