Abstract
Presently, there are little data to suggest an ideal management strategy in patients with achalasia. Our patient population consists predominantly of failures of other treatment methods submitted for laparoscopic myotomy. Our data suggest that laparoscopic Heller myotomy can be safely undertaken in this population, without a higher than expected rate of recurrent symptoms or reflux.
