Is Single‐Session Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy With Fundoplication Safe and Effective in Achalasia? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
This meta‐analysis of nine studies (202 patients) demonstrates that peroral endoscopic myotomy with fundoplication (POEM‐F) achieves a technical success of 94.8% and significant symptom improvement (Eckardt score reduction from 8.3 to 1.1). Post‐procedural esophagitis occurred in 20.7% and wrap integrity was preserved in 75.7% on follow‐up, supporting ...
