Abstract
Despite several previous operations elsewhere for achalasia, the patient remained unable to eat and had been fed via gastrostomy for three years. In the demonstrated procedure a tube constructed from the greater curvature and left attached to the fundus was swung up and anastomosed to the cervical esophagus, bypassing the diseased segment. The patient was able to eat normally at discharge, four weeks postoperatively.
