Abstract

Patients with previous foregut surgery who develop additional foregut pathology can be a challenge. Those who have formerly undergone gastric bypass and later develop achalasia are at increased risk related to previous surgery. In this case report, we describe an alternative approach for the Dor fundoplication after laparoscopic Heller myotomy in the setting of the altered anatomy. The technique and advantages of this approach are detailed in the discussion of this patient.
