Endoscopic or Surgical Myotomy in Patients with Idiopathic Achalasia.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2019
BACKGROUND Pneumatic dilation and laparoscopic Heller's myotomy (LHM) are established treatments for idiopathic achalasia. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a less invasive therapy with promising early study results.

Treatment of esophageal achalasia in children: Today and tomorrow [PDF]

, 2015
Esophageal achalasia (EA) is a rare esophageal motility disorder in children. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) represents the treatment of choice in young patients. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is becoming an alternative to LHM.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Esophageal Motility Disorders [PDF]

Clinical Endoscopy, 2020
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is one of the most clinically successful tunnel-based minimally invasive endoscopic treatments. The classic indications of POEM include achalasia of all types, including failed prior treatments, and expanded indications ...

Esophageal Motility Patterns After Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy in Patients With Achalasia

Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2021
Background/Aims Several studies have reported partial recovery of peristalsis in patients with achalasia after myotomy. The aim of our study is to analyze esophageal motility patterns after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and to assess the potential ...

Achalasia

The Lancet, 2014
Achalasia is a rare motility disorder of the oesophagus characterised by loss of enteric neurons leading to absence of peristalsis and impaired relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter. Although its cause remains largely unknown, ganglionitis resulting from an aberrant immune response triggered by a viral infection has been proposed to underlie ...
