Abstract/Preface
The management of achalasia cardia can be divided into endoscopic and surgical management. Endoscopic management can be divided into pneumatic dilatation and botulinum toxin injection. Peroral endoscopic myotomy is also included in the endoscopic therapy, although some have considered it under surgical therapy for achalasia. Surgical management involves the use of Heller myotomy and esophagectomy. In this review, we will investigate the role of botulinum toxin, pneumatic dilatation, and peroral endoscopic myotomy in the management of achalasia cardia, looking at its indications and complications.
