Heller myotomy (HM) combined with an anti-reflux procedure has been shown to be effective for the treatment of achalasia, as postoperative gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) is observed in about 10% of the cases. Laparoscopy has brought an undeniable benefit in providing excellent visualisation of the gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) without lateral and posterior dissection. Respecting the anatomical fixation of the GEJ seems to permit the performing of HM without an anti-reflux procedure, the need for which is therefore debatable. The purpose of this study was to analyse the results of this controversial procedure.
