• Opis:
  Introduction and purpose Achalasia is the most prevalent primary esophageal motility disorder, marked by improper relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), increased resting pressure in the LES, and a lack of peristalsis in the esophagus. Symptoms include difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), regurgitation, chest pain, and weight loss. Due to the nonspecific nature of these symptoms, diagnosis can be delayed by several years. Since the underlying cause of achalasia is still unknown, treatment options focus on alleviating symptoms by targeting the lower esophageal sphincter. Materials and methods    This paper is based on a literature review sourced from PubMed, using the following keywords: achalasia, POEM, laparoscopic cardiomyotomy, pneumatic dilation, and botulinum toxin injection. Results Various treatment options are available for achalasia, each offering unique features and results. The main approaches include Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM), Laparoscopic Myotomy (LM), Botulinum Toxin Injection, and Pneumatic Dilation (PD). Conclusion Each treatment differs in its level of invasiveness, duration of symptom relief, risk of complications, and the likelihood of requiring additional interventions. The selection of the most suitable option is influenced by individual patient factors, such as the type and severity of achalasia, overall health, and personal preference
