The reoperative procedures for achalasia vary. Repeat esophagomyotomy with or without antireflux procedure and esophageal resection of varying extent with reconstruction using stomach, jejunum, or colon have been reported. In this series, we have retrospectively reviewed our experience and reported the results with limited distal esophagectomy and short-colon interposition in the treatment of patients with recurrent symptoms of achalasia after prior failed esophagomyotomy.
