Patients who are seeking achalasia surgery in Beverly Hills<\/a><\/strong> should know that the most common surgical procedure involves balloon dilatation. During balloon dilatation achalasia surgery, the surgeon guides a balloon carefully into the compressed area of the esophagus. Once the balloon is in position, the next step of achalasia surgery<\/strong> is to have the balloon inflated to stretch out the overly tight muscles and increase the room for food to pass through in the esophagus. The other type of achalasia surgery performed in our Beverly Hills office is called myotomy. This type of achalasia surgery is more invasive, but has a higher success rate for our Beverly Hills patients.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
