Beyond symptom relief: Linking anatomy, physiology and quality of life after laparoscopic Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication

Key Points

To explore the relationship between anatomical, physiological changes and quality of life after laparoscopic Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication.
Performed laparoscopic Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication
Assessed symptoms and quality of life pre- and post-operation
Measured anatomical and physiological changes over time
Quality of life improved post-surgery
Anatomical changes did not consistently correlate with symptom relief
Physiological changes were also not directly linked to quality of life improvements

Abstract

LHM with Dor fundoplication is a safe and effective treatment for AC, improving symptoms and QoL. Symptom improvement does not consistently parallel anatomical or physiological changes, highlighting the need for assessment.
