Laparoscopic surgery has changed the therapeutic approach in the most frequent esophageal diseases. With the excellent results in the control of symptoms and the low associated morbidity, surgical treatment is increasingly indicated in benign esophageal pathology as a superior alternative to a chronic and less efficient medical treatment. For the hiatus hernia and gastroesophageal reflux, Nissen's fundoplication by laparoscopy is the technique of choice. The best results in the treatment of achalasia are obtained with Heller's laparoscopic myotomy. This growing experience includes the resection of tumours of the esophagus combining thoracoscopy and laparoscopy with similar results to those of open surgery.
