Thoracoscopic hellers myotomy for oesophageal achalasia

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1999
Surgical 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).

The laparoscopic reoperation of failed Heller myotomy

Surgical Endoscopy, 2003
Laparoscopic Heller myotomy for achalasia has a 10-20% failure rate and may require reoperation to control persistent, or recurrent symptoms of dysphagia. We report our experience with laparoscopic reoperation for failed Heller myotomy.Between 1996 and 2001, 5 patients underwent reoperative laparoscopic Heller myotomy. The mean age was 39 years.

Laparoscopic Cardiomyotomy (Heller Myotomy)

1999
Laparoscopic cardiomyotomy (Heller myotomy) is performed for achalasia. The diagnostic workup must exclude several diseases that can mimic achalasia (malignant obstruction, gastroesophageal reflux with stricture formation, diffuse esophageal spasm, and nutcracker esophagus), as treatment of these is quite different.
