[Reoperation after Heller's myotomy]

Advanced achalasia with serious additional complications is quite rare. It should be seen mostly in individuals who were already unsuccessfully operated. The way definitively solving both dysphagia and the complications of advanced achalasia is the resection of oesophagus. Authors are showing their experience and according to the clinical appearance of the disease and histological examination of the whole extirpated thoracic oesophagus they are discussing acceptability of the extirpation of the whole thoracic oesophagus using regardful technique without thoracotomy.
