Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 The fallowing abstract had an interesting statement of end-stage statistics. End-stage achalasia http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21166740 " Despite symptom improvement offered to achalasia patients by either pneumatic dilation or surgical myotomy, 10% to 15% of those so treated will present progressive deterioration of their esophageal function and up to 5% may eventually require an esophagectomy.
