Case description

Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) is indeed considered the gold standard treatment for achalasia. Studies indicate that it effectively relieves dysphagia in over 90% of patients, with minimal complications reported. The procedure is generally safe and has been associated with a low incidence of new gastroesophageal reflux symptoms, making it a preferred choice for many patients.
