Figure 5

A patient with type II achalasia before and after laparoscopic Heller myotomy. After myotomy, a remnant of peristalsis with normal latency and likely extending to the proximal margin of the myotomy is clearly evident. This is a weak contraction based on the large break in the isobaric contour (IBC) between the first and second segments.
