Needlescopic versus conventional laparoscopic Heller–Dor procedure for achalasia: a propensity score-matched analysis

Purpose To compare the treatment results of needlescopic surgery with those of the conventional method for achalasia, using propensity score-matching. Methods Propensity score-matching was performed based on five factors: age, gender, body mass index, extended form, and maximum expansion diameter, t...

Description
Summary:Purpose To compare the treatment results of needlescopic surgery with those of the conventional method for achalasia, using propensity score-matching. Methods Propensity score-matching was performed based on five factors: age, gender, body mass index, extended form, and maximum expansion diameter, to extract 28 cases each for a needlescopic group and a conventional group. Results There were no significant differences between the needlescopic group and the conventional group, in operative time (165 min vs. 170 min, p  = 0.682), estimated blood loss (both ≒ 0 ml, p  = 0.426), or post-operative hospital stay (4 vs. 4 days, p  = 0.248). Although the follow-up period was significantly longer in the conventional group (6 vs. 105 months, respectively; p
