    Abstract:
    Primary achalasia is a motor dysfunction of the esophagus with unknown aetiology. We present our results obtained in 39 patients treated by Heller's Cardiomyotomy. The procedure was successful in 92.3% of the cases and when it is performed in conjunction with an antirreflux technique, it offers excellent results with a very low frequency of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and complications.
