Methods: This prospective randomized trial included 30 patients with Achalasia of the cardia. These patients will be managed at Banha and Mansora University Hospitals by doing laparoscopic heller cardiomyotomy. Follow-up was planned for 6 months for Eckardt score. Results: The mean age of the included patients was (40.60 ± 9.24), there was a statistically significant decrease in Eckardt score in all patients who done laparoscopic heller cardiomyotomy (P
