Abstract

Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) has become the standard treatment option for achalasia. Evidence-based medicine has shown surgical treatment to be the most effective option due to the long-term improvement of symptoms following surgery [5, 6, 13, 20-23]. However, other treatment options are still practiced either due to unavailable surgical expertise or due to patient comorbidities, which prohibit general anesthesia. Recently, robotic-assisted Heller myotomy (RAHM) has been shown to be superior to LHM in terms of safety and comparable with LHM in outcome [14].
