Single-center experience of transitioning from video-assisted laparoscopic to robotic Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication for esophageal motility disorders [PDF]

BMC Surgery, 2023
Background Video-assisted laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) has become the standard treatment option for achalasia. While robotic surgery offering some specific advantages such as better three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic vision, hand-eye consistency ...

Long‐term outcomes of treatment for achalasia: Laparoscopic Heller myotomy versus POEM [PDF]

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery
Achalasia is a rare esophageal motility disorder characterized by nonrelaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) is the gold standard treatment for achalasia.

Robot-Assisted Heller Myotomy Versus Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Cureus, 2023
Robot-assisted Heller myotomy (RAHM) is an increasingly popular alternative to the traditional laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) in the surgical management of achalasia, with similar outcomes and potentially lower complication rates. We aimed to systematically review the literature by comparing the technical success, outcomes, and complications of RAHM

Peroral endoscopic myotomy compared to laparoscopic Heller myotomy and pneumatic dilation in the treatment of achalasia: a systematic review. [PDF]

Dis Esophagus, 2023
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an intervention for the treatment of achalasia which has gained popularity over the last decade. It’s efficacy and invasiveness are comparable to laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM).

Achalasia: laparoscopic Heller myotomy with fundoplication versus peroral endoscopic myotomy-a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

Esophagus
There are various therapeutic options for achalasia. Nevertheless, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and laparoscopic Heller myotomy with fundoplication (LHM) are distinguished by their efficacy and low incidence of complications.
