Abstract
: Current guidelines recommend per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and laparoscopic Heller's myotomy (LHM) as first-line treatment of idiopathic achalasia, but the optimum choice between different endoscopic and surgical modalities remains inconclusive. We conducted a network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of 8 treatments for idiopathic achalasia.
