Recently, a 15-month-old child with congenital pancreatic achalasia underwent gastroscopy-guided laparoscopic submucosal myotomy of the esophagus and cardia in the Department of Pediatric Surgery of Qilu Hospital Qingdao Campus, which is the first minimally invasive surgery in Shandong Province. A few days ago, the child has been successfully discharged from the hospital. It is understood that the baby girl has been vomiting after eating since birth, and the vomiting symptoms gradually worsened, and her weight was significantly lower than that of normal-aged children at the time of consultation. After being admitted to the Pediatric Surgery Department of Qilu Hospital, the child was diagnosed with pancreatic achalasia, a relatively rare esophageal disease, especially congenital infantile pancreatic achalasia which is very rare after upper gastrointestinal imaging and gastroscopy. Zhang Lei, director of pediatric surgery at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University According to Zhang Lei, director of pediatric surgery at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, the traditional surgery for cardia dystocia is mainly open-heart surgery, and sometimes open-abdominal surgery, which is typically very invasive and has a high complication rate. The minimally invasive “gastroscopy-guided laparoscopic submucosal myotomy of the esophagus and cardia” has the advantages of quick recovery, fewer complications, shorter hospitalization and better appearance, especially for children and infants.
