Post-Operative Plans

Following Heller's myotomy and pneumatic dilation, a barium swallow is performed to detect leaks and monitor changes in esophageal shape and function. This surgery is commonly paired with partial fundoplication to minimize postoperative acid reflux. Patients are typically advised to avoid heavy lifting for at least six weeks to aid recovery. Close follow-up care is essential to ensure proper healing and the effectiveness of the procedure.
