Laparoscopic versus robotic‐assisted Heller myotomy for the treatment of achalasia: A systematic review with meta‐analysis

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 2021
Robotic‐assisted laparoscopic Heller myotomy has been proposed as an alternative minimally invasive approach to traditional laparoscopy for the treatment of achalasia.

Endoscopic Myotomy for Achalasia

Advances in Surgery, 2014
POEM is an effective treatment of functional manometric esophageal outflow obstructive disorders with excellent relief of dysphagia. Reflux rates seem to be similar to that seen with traditional Heller myotomy with fundoplication. The POEM technique provides a true surgical esophageal myotomy without incisional pain.

Anterior versus posterior approach in peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM): a systematic review and meta-analysis

Endoscopy, 2020
Background Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is increasingly being used as the endoscopic treatment option for achalasia. Data are limited as to the comparative efficacy of anterior vs. posterior myotomy.

Cricopharyngeal Myotomy in Inclusion Body Myositis: Comparison of Endoscopic and Transcervical Approaches

The Laryngoscope, 2021
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a progressive inflammatory myopathy with dysphagia as a debilitating sequalae. Otolaryngologists are consulted for surgical candidacy when there are findings of cricopharyngeal dysfunction. We aim to compare transcervical

Peroral endoscopic myotomy for symptomatic blown-out myotomy following previous myotomy for achalasia

Endoscopy
AbstractBlown-out myotomy (BOM) may impair the discharge of esophageal contents, leading to recurrent symptoms following myotomy. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of salvage peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for symptomatic BOM.Between August 2011 and August 2022, 77 patients with recurrent achalasia with BOM and 168 with ...

Comparative efficacy of per-oral endoscopic myotomy and Heller myotomy in patients with achalasia: a meta-analysis

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2019
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although both per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and Heller myotomy (HM) have been used for the treatment of achalasia, the comparative efficacy of POEM and HM has yet to be fully evaluated.

“Needlescopic” Heller Myotomy

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 myotomy in achalasia: intraoperative evidence for myotomy of the gastric cardia *

Diseases of the Esophagus, 1999
The myotomy performed for achalasia of the esophagus should divide all of the constricting, diseased muscular elements that obstruct the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). Whether the disease process includes proximal gastric as well as esophageal components is as yet unclear, but anatomic evidence complemented by clinical data suggest that the disease ...
