Shorter surgery could reduce complications for swallowing disorder
NCT ID NCT07293650
Summary
This study compares two versions of a common surgery for achalasia, a condition that makes swallowing difficult. Researchers want to see if cutting less muscle during the procedure (about 1.25 inches instead of 3.5 inches) works just as well to relieve symptoms but causes fewer long-term problems like acid reflux. About 370 adults with specific types of achalasia will be randomly assigned to get either the shorter or standard surgery and followed for two years.
