Core Tip
Core tip: Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is a rare syndrome, characterized by an elevation of the integrated relaxation pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter, not accompanied by alterations in esophageal motility that may lead to the criteria for achalasia. Surgical treatment of EGJOO is very rarely considered and very few cases have been reported in the medical literature. We herein report the first case of EGJOO successfully treated with laparoscopic Heller myotomy combined with Dor fundoplication.
