It has been said that a Heller myotomy cannot improve dysphagia in achalasia when the esophagus is markedly dilated or sigmoid shaped. Those who hold this belief recommend esophagectomy as the primary treatment in such cases. This study aimed to compare the results of laparoscopic Heller myotomy combined with Dor fundoplication in 66 patients with and without esophageal dilatation, all of whom had achalasia.
