POEM for Esophageal Achalasia [PDF]
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2020 Over the past decade, per-oral endoscopic myotomy has been shown to be a durable minimally invasive approach to the treatment of esophageal achalasia. Patients with suspected achalasia should undergo upper endoscopy, timed barium esophagram, and high-resolution manometry to confirm the diagnosis.

Functional restoration of the esophagus after peroral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a new efficacious treatment option for achalasia. We propose to define "esophageal remodeling" as the functional restoration of the esophagus that involves decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, recovery
