Esophageal Motility Surgery is performed to treat disorders like achalasia, where the esophagus cannot move food properly into the stomach. The surgery aims to improve the motility of the esophagus by addressing the muscle function or by cutting the muscles that are preventing normal movement.

Common surgical options include Heller myotomy, where the muscle at the lower end of the esophagus is cut to allow food to pass more easily. The procedure can be done laparoscopically or through open surgery depending on the severity of the condition.

Postoperative care includes monitoring for complications such as infection or acid reflux, as well as dietary changes to prevent food from getting stuck in the esophagus. Patients are typically advised to avoid large meals and eat slowly to reduce pressure on the esophagus.

Esophageal motility surgery provides significant improvement in symptoms, allowing patients with achalasia or similar conditions to resume normal eating habits and reduce discomfort.
