"So, reflux after Heller's myotomy does not happen as a random fate, but it can be predicted. There are 3 factors that predict reflux as a likely complication after myotomy. First, if there is longstanding reflux in the history before a patient developed dysphagia, and reflux symptoms diminish after dysphagia developed. Another suspicious factor is a hiatal hernia accompanying achalasia. And third is an abnormal pH-metry, showing acid reflux."
So what is the medical solution? A 360 fundoplication of course!
Wow! Can they not see the forest through the trees? Address the actual CAUSE of the reflux! See my book for how to do this!
