    Author: Nguyen D, Dip F, Lo Menzo E, Szomstein S, Rosenthal R.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2016 Jan; 98(1):e3-5. PubMed ID: 26688418.
    Abstract:
    When achalasia is unrecognised during the preoperative phase in patients who have undergone bariatric procedures, a late Heller oesophagomyotomy may be used as the treatment modality to prevent the development of megaoesophagus. We present the case of a 66-year-old man with achalasia 3 years after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure.
