Some studies say that botox and dilations make it more difficult

to do a myotomy, and there might be more perforations. However,

some of the same studies say that the outcomes are the same.

Yes, it's more difficult for the surgeons, but they can still

manage to do the myotomy, sew up the perforations, and have a

successful surgery.

reduce the benefits from a later surgery. He said botox had no

effect on later surgeries (which I don't really believe since

other

studies say inflammation from botox can reduce surgery success

rates). He just made some vague statement about dilations maybe

having an effect.
