The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate the laparoscopic treatment of esophageal achalasia in nine patients over a 35-month period. Five trocars were used to perform a Heller's myotomy to completely eliminate the cardial high-pressure zone, under manometric control. Intraoperative manometry also was used to calibrate a pick degrees 360 Rossetti's antireflux wrap. A complete regression of symptoms was observed postoperatively in seven of nine patients (77.8%); in two patients (22.2%) a moderate dysphagia persisted, but it disappeared 3 and 6 months, respectively. Only one intraoperative complication (esophageal perforation, recognized and laparoscopically repaired) occurred. At the present follow-up of 18 +/- 5.34 months (range 6-35), no dysphagia or symptoms related to reflux have been observed. Laparoscopic treatment of esophageal achalasia is considered a safe and effective procedure, and the results of this procedure are comparable with those of the open technique. Advantages common to other laparoscopic techniques are emphasized.
