1. Outcome of superficial squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus: a clinicopathological study
PURPOSE: To analyze the clinicopathological features and outcome of patients with pathologically proven superficial squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. METHODS: A total of 234 consecutive cases of esophageal carcinoma in a 15-year period were reviewed. RESULTS: Superficial esophageal cancer was found in five patients (2.1%). They were four men and one

2. Complicações cardiovasculares em pacientes com megaesôfago chagásico submetidos à cirurgia de Serra Dória.
A disfagia causada pelo megaesôfago chagásico compromete o estado geral e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Neste contexto, a cirurgia de Serra Dória é um procedimento útil nos casos avançados ou de recidiva da doença. Pouco se sabe a respeito das complicações cardiovasculares relativas a esta cirurgia. Objetivo: O estudo buscou identificar fatores

3. Novas técnicas ambulatoriais para avaliação da motilidade esofágica e sua aplicação no estudo do megaesôfago
Brazilian surgeons deal routinely with esophageal motility disorders, because achalasia is highly prevalent in Brazil due to Chagas' disease. In the last years new technologies for the evaluation of esophageal motility became available. High resolution manometry and the combination of barometric parameters and intraluminal impedance are the new frontiers on

4. Early and late results of surgical teatment of the not advanced megaesophagus by Heller-Pinotti technique : laparotomy versus laparoscopy / Resultados imediatos e tardios do tratamento cirurgico do megaesofago não avançado pela tecnica de Heller-Pinotti : laparotomia versus laparoscopia
O megaesôfago caracteriza-se por destruição dos plexos intramurais de Auerbach de caráter irreversível e progressivo, aperistalse do corpo, contrações sincrônicas, relaxamento incompleto ou ausente do esfíncter inferior, levando a estase alimentar, dilatação e alongamento do órgão, interferindo significativamente com a alimentação. No Brasil,

5. Assessment of the late results of advanced Chagasic megaesophagus after two treatments esophagectomy with an associated gastroplasty and the Serra Dória procedure - clinical, nutritional, endoscopic, and anatomopathological study and assessment of the quality / "Avaliação dos resultados tardios de megaesôfago chagásico avançado operado pela técnica de esofagectomia com gastroplastia e operação de Serra Dória: estudo clínico, nutricional, endoscópico, anatomopatológico e avaliação da qualidade de vida"
The objective of the paper was to carry out a comparative evaluation of the late results of a transdiaphragmatic esophagectomy with an associated gastroplasty and of the Serra Dória procedure, for the treatment of advanced megaesophagus. A cohort study was done on 44 patients. Late follow up for the EG Group was 77.0 months, and for the SD Group, 62.1 month

6. "Estudo comparativo da função erétil em pacientes portadores da forma digestiva da Doença de Chagas" / Study comparative of the erectile function in patient bearers in the digestive way of the Chagas disease
The objective of this study was to correlate the alterations caused by the Chagas disease in the autonomous nervous system and the possibility of these alterations they provoke erectile dysfunction. Sixty men - between 40 and 70 years-old - were selected for the stydy: 30 men with the digestive form of the Chagas disease and 30 of them had negative serologic

7. Necrose da mucosa esofágica como complicação da cardiomiotomia à heller para tratamento de megaesôfago chagásico
This article presents a complication of the laparoscopic technique for Heller cardiomyotomy and anterior fundoplication. This procedure is safe and provides excellent relief of disphagia in esophageal achalasia. Nevertheless, there are rare but dangerous complications, such as late active digestive bleeding, presented in this paper which was resistant to con

8. Esophageal striated muscle contractions in patients with Chagas' disease and idiopathic achalasia
Chagas' disease causes degeneration and reduction of the number of intrinsic neurons of the esophageal myenteric plexus, with consequent absent or partial lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and loss of peristalsis in the esophageal body. The impairment of esophageal motility is seen mainly in the distal smooth muscle region. There is no study about esopha

9. Microbiota in chagasic megaesophagus / Microbiota no megaesôfago chagásico.
The stasis of saliva and swallowed food in the esophageal lumen of patients with chagasic megaesophagus causes: (1) bacterial overgrowth in the esophageal lumen, (2) recurring pulmonary aspirations and respiratory infections, (3) increased risk of surgical or endoscopic procedures if perforation occurs by the major possibility of contamination, and (4) the d

10. Upper esophageal sphincter pressure in patients with Chagas' disease and primary achalasia
The most important component of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) is the cricopharyngeal muscle. During the measurement of sphincter pressure the catheter passed through the sphincter affects the pressure value. In Chagas' disease and primary achalasia there is an esophageal myenteric plexus denervation which may affect UES pressure. We measured the UES p

11. Esophageal achalasia and secondary megaesophagus in a dog
A 5-year-old, castrated male, golden retriever was presented with a history of regurgitation. An esophagram revealed normal peristalsis with failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to open, supporting the diagnosis of esophageal achalasia. Prior to surgery, the dog developed megaesophagus. Heller's esophagomyotomy resolved the clinical signs and the esopha

12. Physiologic evaluation of esophageal function in patients with achalasia and diffuse esophageal spasm.
To evaluate function of the normal and pathologic esophageal body under more physiologic conditions than those utilized for traditional laboratory testing, manometry was performed before and during eating using a catheter assembly containing three peripheral transducers. Studies were evaluated from seven normal volunteers, 18 typical achalasia patients (eigh
