Achalasia is a rare esophageal dysmotility disorder of unknown etiology that affects approximately 1 in 100,000 people. It is characterized by haphazard contractility or absent peristalsis of the esophagus and uncoordinated relaxation of a hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter (LES) mechanism.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 ...

Thoracoscopic Heller’s Myotomy
1995Achalasia of the esophagus is a disease characterized by the lack of peristalsis, the lack of adequate and complete lower esophageal sphincter relaxation, and the presence of high pressure at the lower end of the esophagus. Therapy is directed to decreasing resistance to flow through the sphincter.

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.

The gold standard for achalasia is surgical correction via laparoscopic Heller myotomy with a partial fundoplication. The goal of this technical report is to illustrate our preferred approach to patients with achalasia and to provide the reader with a detailed description of our operative technique, its rationale, and our pre and post-operative ...

Thoracoscopic hellers myotomy for oesophageal achalasia
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1999Surgical myotomy is the mainstay of treatment for oesophageal achalasia. Minimally invasive surgical techniques, if feasible, reduce patient morbidity and mortality. In this study we review our experience of thoracoscopic Heller's myotomy. Thoracoscopic myotomy was undertaken in 9 patients (male = 3; female = 6, mean age = 37).
