Results The operation time ranged from 110 and 120 minutes with the bleeding volumes between 40 to 50 ml, and the hospitalized time for patients post operation was 6 to 7 days. During a month after surgery, the patients showed the normal lower esophageal sphincter pressure and remnant pressure, increased the rate of relaxation,disappeared reversed peristalsis and gastroesophageal reflux, and no recurred symptoms. Conclusions In comparison to conventional surgery, Heller-Dor procedure results in smaller wound, less pain, fewer complications, faster recovery, shorter hospitalized days, and better therapeutic effectiveness.
