Data directly comparing treatment options for achalasia are limited, namely peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM), and endoscopic pneumatic dilation (PD). The current

laparoscopic Heller myotomy
Pneumatic Dilation Associated With Higher Complication and Readmission Rates in Patients With Achalasia
POEM Better Than Pneumatic Dilation in Treating Achalasia Symptoms After Surgical Myotomy
Research into peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) as a rescue therapy for patients with persistent or recurrent symptoms after laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) is increasing. Although
