Achalasia is a rare motility disorder of the oesophagus characterised by loss of enteric
neurons leading to absence of peristalsis and impaired relaxation of the lower oesophageal …

Introduction Achalasia is a primary motor disorder of the oesophagus characterised by
absence of peristalsis and insufficient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxation. With new …

Background Pneumatic dilation and laparoscopic Heller's myotomy (LHM) are established
treatments for idiopathic achalasia. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a less invasive …

Importance Case series suggest favorable results of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)
for treatment of patients with achalasia. Data comparing POEM with pneumatic dilation, the …

Objective: To compare the outcome of per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and
laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) for the treatment of esophageal achalasia. Background …

Achalasia is a relatively rare primary motor esophageal disorder, characterized by absence
