TL;DR: After 2 years of follow-up, laparoscopic Heller's myotomy, as compared with pneumatic dilation, was not associated with superior rates of therapeutic success.
Journal ArticleDOI
The lower esophageal sphincter in health and disease.
TL;DR: The results show that a mechanically incompetent sphincter can be identified by a spHincter pressure below the 2.5 percentile, an abdominal length below the fifth percentile, and an overall length below that of normal values.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wout O. Rohof,Renato Salvador,Vito Annese,Stanislas Bruley des Varannes,Stanislas Chaussade,Mario Costantini,J. Ignasi Elizalde,Marianne Gaudric,André J.P.M. Smout,Jan Tack,Olivier R. Busch,Giovanni Zaninotto,Guy E. Boeckxstaens +12 more
TL;DR: A higher percentage of patients with type II achalasia (based on manometric tracings) are treated successfully with pneumatic dilation or laparoscopic Heller myotomy than patients with types I and III a Chalasia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term results of the European achalasia trial: a multicentre randomised controlled trial comparing pneumatic dilation versus laparoscopic Heller myotomy

TL;DR: It is concluded that either laparoscopic Heller myotomy or endoscopic pneumodilation can be proposed as initial treatment for achalasia with a comparable success rate with no differences in oesophageal function and emptying after at least 5 years of follow-up.

TL;DR: The European achalasia trial as mentioned in this paper evaluated whether manometric subtype was associated with response to treatment in a large population of patients treated with either pneumatic dilation (PD) or laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM), which have comparable rates of success.
