[Original method of the treatment of achalasic megaesophagus with EEA stapler]

Esophageal sutures require the same general criteria applied for the realization of an intestinal suture. The lack of a serous membrane and the particular vascularization of the organ, though, make this portion of the gastroenteric tract very prone to serious complications. Undoubtedly, the introduction of new systems of suture renders easier, faster and more efficacious the work of the surgeon. In particular, the Authors stress the advantages that staplers can offer for the treatment of achalasic megaesophagus.
