| Core Tip |
This manuscript focuses on comparing the clinical outcomes and costs of laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) as treatment options for achalasia, a rare esophageal motility disorder. Achalasia is characterized by impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and abnormal peristalsis in the esophageal body, resulting in symptoms such as dysphagia, regurgitation, chest pain, and weight loss. The study aims to determine the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of both procedures. By analyzing data from a tertiary-academic referral center, the researchers investigate the clinical outcomes, costs prior to and following the procedure, and adverse events associated with LHM and POEM. |
