Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2003
MIS continues to evolve with the introduction of new techniques and technology. This report discusses the use of "needlescopic" technology in the surgical management of achalasia. Heller myotomy procedures performed between January 1, 1997, and July 1, 2000, were analyzed and the results of 14 needlescopic procedures were compared with 15 laparoscopic ...

Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy For Achalasia
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 2000Background: Laparoscopic Heller myotomy provides similar results to open Heller myotomy for the treatment of oesophageal achalasia with the advantage of quicker recovery. The present series examines the evolution of operative technique, postoperative outcome and the effect of the ‘learning curve’ in a group of 70 consecutive patients.Methods: Between ...

Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy and Toupet Fundoplication
World Journal of Surgery, 2022AbstractEsophageal achalasia is a primary motility disorder of unknown origin. The goal of treatment is to eliminate the resistance caused by a non‐relaxing lower esophageal sphincter, therefore allowing passage of food and liquid from the esophagus into the stomach.

Different surgical techniques for the treatment of achalasia exist, including laparoscopic Heller myotomy. Laproscopic Heller myotomy is the most common approach; it has better short-term outcomes and similar long-term outcomes when compared to open myotomies.

Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy and Dor Fundoplication
World Journal of Surgery, 2022AbstractIntroductionAchalasia is an esophageal motility disorder characterized by disordered esophageal peristalsis with failed relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter resulting in a functional obstruction.Treatment can include medical, endoscopic, or surgical interventions.

Laparoscopic Heller myotomy for achalasia
The American Journal of Surgery, 2005Achalasia is an uncommon illness affecting 1 per 100,000 patients yearly. There is evidence to suggest viral, autoimmune, and hereditary etiologies. There are many treatment options available including medications, botulinum toxin injection, pneumatic dilation, and surgical myotomy.We present a retrospective review of patients undergoing laparoscopic ...

Heller myotomy vs Heller myotomy plus Dor fundoplication
Surgical Endoscopy, 2006The addition of a Dor antireflux procedure reduces the risk of pathologic gastroesophageal reflux (GER) by ninefold following laparoscopic Heller myotomy for achalasia. It is not clear, however, how these benefits compare with the increased cost of the fundoplication.

Achalasia is a relatively uncommon primary motility disorder of the esophagus characterized by incomplete or absent relaxation of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES). Early definitive treatment is essential to prevent potential complications of the disease as well as improve patients’ quality of life.

Esophageal achalasia is a functional disorder characterized by the absence of peristaltic contractions in the esophageal body and failure of complete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter in response to swallowing. This disease is relatively frequent in some parts of the world, such as Brazil.
