8 If a perforation occurs, emergency surgery is needed to close the perforation and to perform a myotomy.
9 A good response to BOTOX is usually an indication that the patient will have long-term relief following surgical myotomy.
10 These patients may require open surgery to close the perforation and perform a myotomy.

17 If this fails, a second operation (extending the previous myotomy onto the anterior gastric wall) can be attempted once the cause of failure has been identified with imaging studies.
18 This treatment can cause an inflammatory reaction at the level of the gastroesophageal junction, making a subsequent myotomy very difficult.
19 Esophagectomy was the standard treatment in patients with achalasia and a markedly dilated or sigmoid-shaped esophagus, with Heller myotomy considered to be ineffective in such cases.
