Objectives: Robot assisted laparoscopic Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication has allowed for improved visualization and decreased rate of perforation at our institution. There have been fewer Intraoperative perforations and better outcomes in terms of GERD and regurgitation compared to laparoscopic. The 3D views, fine motor capability, and improved zoom has allowed for finer dissection during the myotomy. This video is aimed at demonstrating the key steps of Robot assisted laparoscopic Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication.
