Abstract:
An 18-year old woman had dysphagia and frequent vomiting after meals for 6 years. She lost 15 kg in 6 months recently. After esophageal manometry, she was diagnosed with achalasia. We decided to use laparoscopic surgery because there was no symptomatic improvement after medication. We made small 5 incisions on her abdomen. We performed Heller myotomy and Dor fundoplication. We performed esophagogram one day after the operation. There was no leakage of the contrast media, and it passed well. She started to eat at the 2nd day after the operation and was discharged on the 9th day without other specific problem.
