Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy for the Treatment of Type III Achalasia
Case description
Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) is the gold standard treatment for achalasia. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), a less invasive treatment, is performed extensively, and the selection of the intervention method remains debatable to date. However, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was more common in patients who had undergone POEM than in those who had undergone LHM. Some studies have suggested that POEM is superior to LHM for patients with type III achalasia because POEM allows for a longer myotomy.
