Abstract

Achalasia is well documented in the pediatric age group. The treatment is primarily surgical, via the laparoscopic approach. This report describes two cases in which patients underwent successful robotic-assisted laparoscopic Heller's myotomy. The advantages of this novel approach are discussed, with a special emphasis on its applications to the pediatric population.
