Case description

Laparoscopic Heller's cardiomyotomy is the surgical procedure of choice in the management of oesophageal achalasia. It is critical to confirm the completeness of the myotomy and mucosal integrity at the conclusion of the procedure. This is conventionally achieved by intraoperative endoscopy and dynamic air leak test. Other modality that can be used to confirm the myotomy and the integrity of the mucosa at the myotomy site is a methylene blue dye study.
