Prof. Enrico Roda: La complessità dell'acalasia esofagea

In this episode, we discuss the rare disease achalasia with Professor Enrico Roda, a gastroenterologist. He explains that achalasia is a condition in which the motility of the esophagus is impaired, causing difficulty transporting food to the stomach. Treatment options are described, including surgery, pneumatic dilation, and endoscopic sphincterotomy. The importance of choosing the appropriate treatment based on the severity of the condition is emphasized, with the goal of reducing recurrences and improving the patient's quality of life.
