Surgical treatment for Achalasia

Achalasia is a relatively rare esophageal motility disorder that is mainly characterized by a lack of peristalsis of the esophageal body and absence or incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Its symptons, frequently heard from patients’ stories, produce a huge impact on their lives. The ISDE (international society for diseases of the esophagus) has provided a virtual presentation and discussion regarding achalasia of esophagus through its types, how to diagnose, what is the most appropriate achalasia treatment and what is the role of achalasia surgery, and what is the role of POEM in the achalasia treatment. Surgical myotomy, known as Heller Myotomy, is the classical approach to achalasia. When first described, led to excellent results but with high incidence and severe gastroesophageal reflux. With the association of a partial fundoplication, surgical myotomy has become the standard of care for achalasia, leading to relief of dysphagia and GER control. This presentation on surgical treatment for achalasia is presented by Marco Patti from the University of North Carolina (USA).
