D L BINGHAM

    Canadian Medical Association Journal
    |November 23, 1963

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cricopharyngeal achalasia, a swallowing disorder, often stems from cricopharyngeus muscle dysfunction. A posterior midline myotomy procedure shows significant promise in improving dysphagia caused by this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Dysphagia is frequently linked to cricopharyngeal achalasia and pharyngeal diverticulum.
    • These conditions often result from cricopharyngeus muscle hypertrophy and impaired function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a posterior midline myotomy of the cricopharyngeus muscle for treating dysphagia.
    • To report on a case of cricopharyngeal achalasia treated with the Sutherland procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A posterior midline myotomy of the cricopharyngeus muscle was performed.
    • The surgical approach was based on the Sutherland procedure.

    Main Results:

    • The Sutherland procedure resulted in strikingly beneficial improvement in dysphagia.

  • The reported case demonstrated successful outcomes following the myotomy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Posterior midline cricopharyngeal myotomy is an effective treatment for dysphagia secondary to cricopharyngeal achalasia.
    • The Sutherland procedure offers a promising therapeutic option for patients with these swallowing difficulties.
