Oesophageal achalasia is a rare disorder. For patients in good overall condition, surgical management--myotomy--is one of the treatment options. This study describes the technique of laparoscopic myotomy sured by partial antireflux cuff. 35 patients were operated. Only in 3 cases, further follow-up was required for dysphagia. None of the patients required re-operation. No serious peroperative or postoperative complications were recorded. Importance of peroperative oesophagogastroscopy in assessment of adequate extent of myotomy and in excluding perforations of the oesophageal mucosa is put forward.
