Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Pneumatic dilatation and surgery are equally effective in the treatment of achalasia cardia but carry some risk of complications. We report our initial experience with the use of botulinum toxin in the treatment of achalasia. Six of seven patients treated responded, with improvement lasting till the end of follow-up at 3 months. No adverse effect was observed. |
