AbstractAt present, LHM with partial fundoplication is considered the gold standard for the treatment of patients with esophageal achalasia. Endoscopic procedures such as EBTI and PD should be considered as primary treatment modalities only in frail patients. POEM is a new approach with promising short-term results.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
