This analysis demonstrates a successful laparoscopic approach for treating esophageal achalasia, suggesting it as a preferred method in children.

Laparoscopic Heller myotomy and Dor fundoplication effectively improved symptoms in children with achalasia.
Among 25 patients, symptoms markedly improved based on barium passage results, with a mean hospital stay of 6.1 days.
All procedures were completed laparoscopically with minimal recovery issues, confirming the method's safety and efficacy.
In recurrent cases, pneumatic dilatation may be considered as a second-line treatment approach.

Bataev et al. (2025) studied this question.
