Hi Firoz,
The details about the initial operation done on 1982 is not mentioned. The type of surgeries that can be performed depends upon the severity and the condition of esophagus.
Now, if you consider myotomy versus balloon dilation, myotomy has better outcomes. You can consult your surgeon about myotomy with additional procedures that can have better outcomes. You need to undergo investigations to check for feasibility.
Hope this information helps. Thanks.
