Core Tip	Esophageal achalasia is the most common primary esophageal motility disorder and the major symptoms are dysphagia, vomiting, and chest pain. Various studies have suggested that the most effective treatment of esophageal achalasia is surgical therapy and the basic concept of surgical therapy has not changed since Heller proposed esophageal myotomy for the purpose of resolution of lower esophageal obstruction. However, the most common approach has changed from open-chest surgery to laparoscopic surgery. This article reviews the outcomes of surgical procedures for esophageal achalasia from various view points and discusses the problems and prospects of laparoscopic surgery for esophageal achalasia.
