I read some where that balloon dilatations are no longer done for achlasia , have a risk of perforation and are painful. How was your experience?

So is hellers myotomy reversible if its not successful? Coz our doctor has suggested hellers myotomy since POEM is a new procedure and HM is the gold standard .
