Overall Complications Following Robotic Heller Myotomy Are Lower Compared With Laparoscopy.

Background: The use of robotics in foregut surgery has become more prevalent in the United States over the last 10 years. We sought to find the differences in the clinical outcomes of robotic surgery compared with traditional laparoscopy in patients undergoing Heller myotomy.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective population-based analysis was performed using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database for the span of 2010 to 2015.
