Esophageal Achalasia: Predictive Value of Preoperative Resting Pressure of LES Correlated with Type of Fundoplication

Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019
Objective: The aim of the present study is to show the predictive value of the preoperative resting pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) correlated with the type of fundoplication (Nissen or Dor) after Heller myotomy in our series ...

Enhanced Visualization of the Distal Myotomy Endpoint during Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Using Indocyanine Green With Infrared Imaging

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG‐IRI) provides real‐time fluorescence visualization of the distal myotomy endpoint during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study of 39 patients, ICG‐IRI achieved a 94.9% success rate in fluorescence detection and significantly improved esophageal relaxation and symptoms.

EAES Clinical Practice Guideline 2026 Protocol: Multi‐Society Recommendations for the Treatment of Achalasia

Clinical and Public Health Guidelines, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Achalasia causes significant distress and quality‐of‐life impairment to patients. Several options exist for the treatment of achalasia including endoscopic [intra‐sphincteric injection of botulinum toxin, pneumatic dilation, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)], and surgical techniques such as Heller Myotomy.

Double-Scope Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) for Esophageal Achalasia: The First Trial of a New Double-Scope POEM [PDF]

Clinical Endoscopy, 2016
With the accumulation of clinical trials demonstrating its efficacy and safety, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has emerged as a less invasive treatment option for esophageal achalasia compared with laparoscopic Heller myotomy.

Robot-assisted Heller myotomy for achalasia

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2019
Achalasia is a rare neuromuscular esophageal disorder in children. There are many surgical options to treatment including botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, oral pharmacologic therapies with nitrates and calcium channel blockers, pneumatic dilation (PD),

An Exploratory Endoscopic Achalasia Phenotype With Visible Squamocolumnar Junction and Distal Esophagogastric Junction Relaxation Failure: Association With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease After Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (With Video)

Digestive Endoscopy, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds and Aims Esophageal achalasia is typically defined by impaired lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation. In rare cases, complete circumferential visibility of the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) and upper gastric folds (GFs) is seen endoscopically, suggesting functional obstruction may extend to the distal esophagogastric junction

A physiologic clinical study of achalasia: Should Dor fundoplication be added to Heller myotomy? [PDF]

, 2005
ObjectiveMyotomy for achalasia disrupts the lower esophageal sphincter, improving emptying at the expense of reflux. We hypothesized that surgical palliation of achalasia requires balancing desirable improvement in esophageal emptying with undesirable ...
