Abstract
Esophagocardiomyotomy followed by anterior fundoplication is a standard treatment of achalasia cardia, whereas cruroraphy with complete or partial posterior fundoplication is carried out for hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The most common postoperative complications of hiatal hernia repair are dysphagia due to malformed cuff, phenomenon of 'telescope' and slow gastric emptying syndrome. Recurrent hiatal hernia is observed in 3-15% of cases. Currently, there are a lot of reports devoted to redo antireflux procedures in patients with hiatal hernia. The goal of the study is to demonstrate difficulties of diagnosis and treatment in a patient with achalasia cardia after previous hiatal hernia repair.
