Surgery for Benign Oesophageal Disorders

Specialist surgeons update physicians on advances in the technology to diagnose the etiology of benign diseases of the esophagus, improvements in existing therapies, and novel new therapies that may offer symptom relief with fewer side effects or complications. Among their topics are fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease, endoscopic therapy for Barrett's esophagus: who and how, whether there is a role for endoscopic therapy in achalasia, the minimally invasive management of benign esophageal tumors and cysts, and the contemporary management of iatrogenic and non-iatrogenic esophageal injuries.
