Cameroonian hospitals: a cohort study
Version: 1 Date: 26 Nov 2023
Reviewer:  Ibrahima Konaté
Reviewer's report:
This article discusses an interesting topic. It could be a good contribution to provide data from
Africa, but there are many concerns with the methodology.
I recommend a major revision and a professional language edition.
The title could be reduced in length
The introduction should be concise and focused on the subject.
The study's objectives need to be clarified.
I am not sure it is  a good option to mix laparoscopic patients and laparotomy patients;
The selection process for patients needs to be clarified.
The data collected in the methodology section differ from those mentioned in the result section.
The surgical management section is confusing.
Please provide intra operative images.
There is potential Figure 2 to be of better quality
The inscriptions in Table 2 are written in both French and English
The discussion section must be rewritten to focus on the main goals and highlight the study's
limitations.
The laparoscopic approach is the best option for surgical treatment of achalasia, and most of
your patients underwent laparotomy procedures, that requires a clear explanation.
