What does it consist of?
The Oesophageal achalasia It is a problem that makes it difficult for food to pass normally from the oesophagus to the stomach. It happens because the oesophagus does not push food down properly and the valve that allows passage to the stomach does not open as it should, causing food to become retained and generate symptoms such as Difficulty swallowing or regurgitation.
It is a Functional alteration that can progress over time If left untreated. An accurate diagnosis is key to differentiating it from other problems and applying the most appropriate treatment, often through advanced minimally invasive techniques.
