Background The choice between pneumatic dilation and surgical myotomy is mainly determined by the preference and expertise of the treating physician. Ideally, however, treatment should be personalized to provide the optimal clinical outcome.

Purpose To review, the data suggesting differences in clinical response to treatment depending on the manometric profile. |
