[Dysphagia] Dilatation vs myotomy
- Subject: [Dysphagia] Dilatation vs myotomy

can anyone help me with this one? is dilation the best route to
perform when there is a dysfunction at the UES as opposed to the surgical
invasion of myotomy? how long will the dilation remain intact before it
may retract again?
*** The basic question is "Why is the UES not opening?" Is it due to denervation through the RLN and PP, failure of anterior hyoid movement, scarring due to chronic LPR etc. etc. For each, there is a different answer.
