Is it usual to have 2nd dilation after myotomy

[Guest guest]

Hubby had myotomy (thoracic keyhole) in August 2009 and a dilation last Monday.

They said they'd " stretched it wide " so I can't tell you how many millimetres.

But all in all that was his 6th dilation - he's also had two Botox.

The dilation he had last week has not worked.

So my question is: is it usual to have a 2nd dilation after myotomy, and would

you suggest they did another manometry test first, rather than just an

endoscopy?

Any views or experiences would be welcomed appreciatively.
