​

Multicentre retrospective study investigating the management and outcomes of paediatric achalasia

​

Background:

 

Achalasia is a rare disease in children. There is no consensus on management and a paucity of evidence regarding current outcomes.​

​

Aims:

​

The OPERA study aims to report treatment method and outcomes retrospectively for all children treated for achalasia. We are looking for a trainee at each centre to collect these data.

​

​

Methodology: 

 

Retrospective multicentre study investigating current investigations and management strategies, and documentations of outcomes.
