From February 1988 to November 1990, thirty eight patients with achalasia were treated endoscopically with micro-vasive regiflex dilator (MRBD). Immediate success rate was 100% and the long-term effect 89.4%. No serious complications such as perforation of bleeding occurred. MRBD is superior to conventional dilators in treating this disease and probably the method of first choice.
