Heller's Myotomy

Effective Surgical Treatment for Achalasia

Heller's Myotomy is a specialized surgical procedure performed to treat achalasia, a disorder of the esophagus that makes swallowing difficult. In achalasia, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to relax properly, preventing food and liquids from passing smoothly into the stomach.

During the procedure, the tight muscle fibers of the lower esophageal sphincter are carefully divided, allowing food to pass more easily. Heller's Myotomy is typically performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.
