Laparoscopic Heller myotomy for achalasia: results after 10 years
Surgical Endoscopy, 06/29/09
Cowgill SM et al. - Laparoscopic Heller myotomy can be undertaken with few complications. This procedure significantly decreases the frequency and severity of achalasia symptoms without promoting heartburn. The symptoms of achalasia are durably ameliorated by laparoscopic Heller myotomy during long-term follow-up evaluation, thereby promoting application of this procedure.
