Achalasia Cardia
Heller Myotomy
Laparoscopic Heller myotomy involves dividing the muscle fibers of the lower esophageal sphincter to allow food to pass freely into the stomach. Dr. Adarsh, based in Bangalore, combines this with a partial Dor fundoplication to prevent post-operative acid reflux, achieving symptom relief in over 90 percent of patients.
About Heller Myotomy
Laparoscopic Heller myotomy is the gold standard surgical treatment for achalasia cardia. The procedure involves dividing the muscle fibers of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relieve the obstruction to food passage. Dr. Adarsh combines this with a partial fundoplication (Dor or Toupet) to prevent post-operative reflux, achieving excellent long-term swallowing outcomes.
