Die Wahl hängt von Subtyp, Alter, Anatomie, Vorbehandlungen, Refluxrisiko, Präferenzen und Erfahrung des Zentrums ab.

Core principle

The goal is not to apply one procedure to everyone, but to compare options according to confirmed diagnosis and subtype.

Type IStrong optionStrong optionOption in selected patientsNot a durable first-line option
Type IIStrong optionStrong optionEffective in selected patientsUsually temporary
Type IIIFavoured in SAGES 2025 guidanceAlternative; myotomy length mattersGenerally more limitedTemporary / selected patient
Anti-reflux procedureNo routine fundoplicationPartial fundoplication usually added
Post-treatment reflux follow-upEspecially importantStill relevant; fundoplication aims to reduce riskAs neededAs needed
Need for repeat interventionPossible with recurrencePossible with recurrenceSerial/graded sessions may be neededRepeat injection is often needed
Key risk / follow-up issueReflux; procedural adverse events including mucosal injury/perforation can occurSurgical adverse events and refluxPerforation riskEffect may diminish over time
