uoroscopic guidance can be used to aid in the usage of the dila­tors. Multiple achalasia balloon sizes exist as 30, 35, and 40mm [18]. There are variable reports on the success of pneumatic dilation. Overall, pneumatic dilation is 60% effective when using the smallest 30mm balloon, but using the 35mm balloon increases the success rate to near 90% [12]. Pneumatic dilation has been shown to be successful in about 60% of patients at 5 years after several treatments; however, symptom relief decreases over time. Some situations like age less than 40years can predict poor suc­cess of dilation [19]. If there is failure of symptom improvement with the rst two treatments, pneumatic dilation will unlikely resolve symptoms. In patients with high LES pressure (more than 15–30mmHg), or if the LES pressure did not drop to more than 50% from the pretreatment numbers, pneumatic dilation will likely fail. Complications associated with pneumatic dilation include perforation (incidence of 1.6%), bleeding, and reux [16]. The risk of perforation increases with the increase in balloon size. However, dilation to 35 mm and even 40mm is relatively safe when it is preceded by an initial 30mm dilation [20].
Surgical myotomy is referred to as a Heller myotomy. It was originally described by Ernest Heller in 1914 and can provide relief of symptoms in approximately 85–100% of patients. Recent minimally invasive approaches to this operation have made it bet­ter tolerated by patients. A study reported that the therapeutic suc­cess rate of this approach is 93% and 90% after 1 and 2years, respectively [21]. In the current era, it can be performed either laparoscopically or robotically. The procedure involves the mobi­lization of the distal esophagus and proximal stomach with a myotomy that must include the inner muscular circular bers. The external longitudinal bers and the internal circular bers can be divided using variable methods as hook cautery, ultrasonic dissec­tion, or blunt dissection. The myotomy should be extended 6cm onto the esophagus and at least 2cm onto the gastric muscle [6].
During a Heller myotomy, fundoplication may be performed. It is thought that adding a fundoplication to the myotomy will prevent reux since the LES mechanism is lost [22]. A systematic review found after a mean follow-up of 26.6months that the rates of reux and esophagitis following myotomy with fundoplication are 16.8%

and 7.6%, respectively [23]. However, both the addition of a fundo­plication and best type of fundoplication have been debated. Dor fundoplication (anterior 180-degree fundoplication) provides reux prevention, avoids dissection posterior to the esophagus, and covers the exposed mucosa of the myotomy. Toupet fundoplication (poste­rior 270-degree fundoplication) is believed to provide a greater antireux mechanism. The sutures placed on the cut end of the muscle also help keep the myotomy open. Unlike Dor fundoplica­tion, there is no coverage of the myotomy with the Toupet fundopli­cation [24, 25]. Intraoperative endoscopy is recommended to assess for completion of myotomy and rule out leak.
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) was rst introduced by Dr. Inoue in 2009. POEM is performed entirely endoscopically. The procedures begins with a mucosotomy and accessing the sub­mucosal space. This spaced is used to start the submucosal tunnel, usually begining in the mid to upper esopahgus. This submucosal tunnel will then go roughly 3 cm past the LES. The myotomy is then created roughly from 2 cm distal to the LES on the gastric side, to within 2–3 cm of the origional mucosotomy. Thus the myotomy can be extremely long when performing a POEM, making it an excellent treatment choice for type III achalasia. At the completion of the case the mucosotmy is closed with endoscopic clips. POEM has good efcacy in most patients with achalasia. It is rapidly gain­ing traction as another gold-standard treatment for achalasia. A sys­tematic review compared the clinical success of POEM against pneumatic dilation (PD). The clinical success with POEM was superior to PD at 12, 24, and 36months. In addition, POEM was superior to PD in type I, II, and III achalasia, and pooled odds ratio of clinical success at 12 and 24months were signicantly higher with POEM. However, pooled odds ratio of GERD was signi­cantly higher with POEM [26]. Another systematic review com­pared the risk of GERD and esophagitis after POEM against laparoscopic Heller’s myotomy and fundoplication (LHM). The pooled rate of abnormal acid exposure according to pH studies was
39.0% after POEM and 16.8% after LHM, and the rate of esopha­gitis was 29.4% after POEM and 7.6% after LHM [23].
POEM is particularly useful in patients with type III achalasia, due to long segments of spastic contractions and POEM’s ability

to create a long myotomy [27]. POEM is well tolerated with good symptomatic improvement. Some potential complications include both pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum which are decreased by using CO2 instead of air for insufation. Another possible complication is bleeding within myotomy tunnel or inadvertent mucosotomy [16, 17, 28]. A study compared rates of serious adverse events following POEM against laparoscopic Heller’s myotomy (LHM), and they reported rates of 2.7% and 7.3% for POEM and LHM, respectively. POEM is as safe as LHM if not even safer [29].
Unlike a Heller myotomy, POEM does not include an antire­ux procedure such as a Dor or Toupet fundoplication. Due to the lack of an antireux operation, post-POEM patients can experi­ence gastrointestinal reux disease up to 50% of the time. Evidence of reux can even be seen in asymptomatic patients. For this reason, it is good practice to follow POEM patients for reux using endoscopy. Some advocate treating patients with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) post-POEM to prevent acid reux complica­tions such as peptic stricture, Barrett’s esophagus, and esophageal cancer [28]. Since its inception, POEM has gained acceptance and been utilized as a treatment modality around the world.
Esophagectomy is reserved as a last resort for end-stage acha­lasia with megaesophagus. Myotomy, either surgical or endo­scopic, will relax the LES, but there is currently no therapy for the aperistalsis seen in achalasia. In these instances, esophagectomy should be considered in patients that have already undergone an appropriate myotomy with resting low LES pressures, a dilated or megaesophagus, and persistent symptoms [6].
Achalasia is a complex disease that requires a combined approach of a primary care physician, a gastroenterologist, and a surgeon for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of such patients. The diagnosis can occasionally be challenging. It is cru­cial to understand the pathophysiology, the diagnostic algorithm, and the treatment options. At best, the interventions are palliative and not therapeutic, and the risk of disease progression is always present. A key aspect in the treatment of achalasia is having a well-informed and continuous dialog with the patient, so that they are fully informed regarding realistic treatment expectations.

Ineective Esophageal Motility
Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) is a manometric diagnosis that is dened as greater than or equal to 50% ineffective swal­lows that can be combinations of failed or weak (distal contractile integral <450mmHg·s·cm) swallows with a normal lower esopha­geal sphincter relaxation pressure of less than 15mmHg·s·cm [1]. It is associated with impaired bolus transit through the esophagus and nonobstructive dysphagia. This disorder is reportedly found in as high as 30% of patients undergoing high-resolution manom­etry (HRM) and as many as 17% of asymptomatic patients [2]. IEM has been found to have a higher prevalence in smooth muscle disorders like scleroderma and other diseases that affect neuron function like Parkinson’s disease and ALS [3]. The pathophysiol­ogy of IEM has therefore been investigated and theorized to arise

from a combination of neuronal factors that disrupt the circular muscle contraction, esophageal shortening (from longitudinal muscle contraction), and esophageal muscle tone that participate in primary esophageal peristalsis [4]. Impaired secondary peri­stalsis that is triggered by esophageal distension may also play a signicant role in the underlying cause of IEM.
Patients with IEM often have a wide range of symptoms that include cough, heartburn, regurgitation, chest pressure, and dyspha­gia which makes the diagnosis difcult. The typical workup to distin­guish the etiology of these symptoms includes esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), upper GI contrast study (UGI), pH testing, and high-resolution manometry (HRM). IEM impairs esophageal clearance and therefore can participate in the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reux disease (GERD) [5]. Patients with IEM and normal pH studies are younger than those with abnormal pH testing, suggesting that IEM could be an early primary event that subsequently leads to abnormal acid burden [6]; however, further studies need to be performed to conrm this. Patients with chronic cough have a higher likelihood of esophageal hypomotility, lower contraction amplitude, and vigor [7]. Identication of severe IEM (>70% ineffective peristalsis) provides supportive evidence for a more severe GERD phenotype marked by supine acid burden [8].
There is no pharmacologic intervention that reliably restores esophageal smooth muscle contractility or improves symptoms. Therefore, unless GERD is identied, symptomatic patients with IEM are challenging to treat. Dietary restriction and lifestyle changes typically recommended to patients with GERD remain the mainstay of clinical IEM management. With the hypothesis that dietary ber binds nitric oxide (NO) contained in food and could reduce the inhibitory effects of NO in the esophagus, psyllium (15g/day) was reported to decrease esophageal dysphagia and increase LES resting pressure in patients with GERD [9, 10]. However, effects on esopha- geal contractility were not reported in this open-label study. Alternative therapies are popular, as they decrease esophageal sensi­tivity and symptom perception and may benet esophageal contrac­tility. A pilot study of patients with PPI refractory GERD demonstrated signicant increase in esophageal contraction vigor 10min after an osteopathic intervention on the diaphragm, but long­term effects on esophageal symptoms are unknown [11].

Conventional prokinetic agents (metoclopramide, domperidone) have not been proven to be benecial in IEM.There are limited data on newer prokinetic agents like mosapride, a 5HT-4 agonist, which may facilitate secondary peristalsis induced by rapid air distension in patients with IEM but had no improvement in primary and sec­ondary esophageal contraction vigor [9, 12]. Buspirone, a mixed partial 5HT-1A agonist and dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, increased esophageal contraction amplitudes and decreased reux symptoms in scleroderma patients [9, 13, 14], but was not more effective than placebo in patients with IEM and dysphagia [15].
No specic management strategy has been favored over another. Treatment options revolve around management of symp­toms for each individual patient. If IEM patients are found to have GERD refractory to pharmacologic management and are pursuing antireux surgery, then a partial (270-degree) Toupet fundoplica­tion is the surgical treatment of choice so as to not further exacer­bate poor esophageal clearance.

Patient Scenarios
1. JV is a 66-year-old female presenting with dysphagia who pre-
viously was diagnosed with reux many years ago. She takes a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) twice daily without symptomatic improvement. Her main complaint is dysphagia to thicker food groups and pills. She endorses early satiety without weight loss and regurgitation of liquids when supine. She denies true heart­burn-like symptoms or odynophagia. UGI showed small slid­ing hiatal hernia without reux. EGD conrmed hiatal hernia without eosinophilia. pH study had a normal DeMeester score of 0.5 with normal percent time spent in reux. HRM with nor­mal upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressures, normal lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressures, weak distal contractile integral (DCI) with mean of 425mmHg·s·cm, abnormal peri­stalsis with 40% weak and 70% ineffective swallows, and 70% incomplete bolus clearance (Figs. 18.1, 18.2, and 18.3). The patient was treated with lifestyle modication only with moder­ate improvement in symptoms.
