Esophagocardiomyotomy Extramucosal

Extramucosal esophagocardiomyotomy: what is it and how is it performed

Extramucosal esophagocardiomyotomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to treat achalasia cardia, a rare disorder that makes it difficult for food to pass through the esophagus and into the stomach. In this procedure, the surgeon cuts the muscles that normally control the opening and closing of the cardiac sphincter to make it easier for food to pass through.

The procedure's name comes from its main components. "Esophago-" refers to the esophagus, "cardia" refers to the cardiac part of the stomach, "muscle" is referred to as "mys" or "myos" in Greek, and "thin tissue" is referred to as "tome". "Extramucosal" means that the cutting is done outside the mucosa.

The procedure is usually performed by making a small incision in the patient's abdominal wall and then inserting instruments and a viewing device inside the abdomen. The surgeon then cuts the muscles around the cardiac sphincter to make it easier for food to pass through. This procedure can be performed either by open surgery or laparoscopically, depending on the patient's other medical conditions and general health.

Expected results from extramucosal esophagocardiomyotomy include improved food passage and decreased symptoms of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). However, as with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications such as infection, bleeding and organ damage.

In general, extramucosal esophagocardiomyotomy is an effective treatment for achalasia cardia and can be considered as an option in the treatment of this rare disease.

Esophagotomy is a surgical operation for diseases of the esophagus associated with its cutting. The incision is made above the opening formed by the confluence of the esophagus into the esophageal opening of the diaphragm, and below it if access to the cardia of the stomach is needed.

An esophagectomy is a surgical procedure in which the surgeon may cut or remove part of the diaphragm to remove an obstruction in the esophagus. This may be helpful if a person has an esophageal ulcer or narrowing of the esophagus.

Esophagotomy: Extramucosal changes

Esophagocardia is a connection in the anterior wall of the stomach between the tendon of the phrenic nerve and the xiphoid process of the sternum. This structure is exposed to many factors that can cause nerve damage. In addition, the surrounding tissues in this area may be subject to extramucosal changes that affect the function of esophagitis and the gastrointestinal tract.

Extramucosal change is defined as additional space between the endocardium of the stomach and its muscular layer, which can occur as a result of various factors. These changes can lead to functional disorders such as intestinal and respiratory dysfunction.

The main factors contributing to the occurrence of extramucosal changes include: - Age - in older patients, additional fibrous tissue may be observed between the gastric walls. This is observed in women more often than in men; - Genetic predisposition – genetic mutations may play a role in the development of this condition; - Changes inside
