Outcomes of Robotic vs Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy
Robotic surgery allows for a safer myotomy with a significant reduction in intraoperative perforation rate and in length of stay. Robotic surgery enhanced the surgeon's performance of an extended myotomy, resulting in long-term success of RH. RH has lower complication rates and is superior to LH and is our technique of choice.
