Gastroesophageal Intussusception After Myotomy for Achalasia
Gastroesophageal intussusception is a rare but clinically significant condition necessitating prompt diagnosis and management. This highlights the importance of early recognition and intervention to prevent severe complications such as oesophageal perforation. Endoscopic assessment and surgical intervention remain the cornerstone of the management, tailored to the clinical severity and surgeon's expertise. The prognosis largely depends on the timeliness of diagnosis and intervention, with early treatment typically resulting in favourable outcomes.
