Peroral esophageal myotomy for esophageal motility disorders

Minerva Gastroenterology, 2023
The concept of third space endoscopy first described in 2007, was adapted and performed in humans in 2010 by Inoue et al. in a group of patients with esophageal achalasia (EA). Since then, esophageal endoscopic myotomy (E-POEM), has been performed in more than 10,000 patients worldwide up to now.

Esophageal motility disorder achalasia

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2013
Although not a common disease, the last several years have had exciting breakthroughs in better defining the pathophysiology of achalasia, classifying the disease with high-resolution manometry and potentially exciting new treatments.The introduction of high-resolution manometry with detailed assessment of lower esophageal sphincter function and ...

Der Radiologe, 2007
For the better understanding of esophageal motility, the muscle texture and the distribution of skeletal and smooth muscle fibers in the esophagus are of crucial importance. Esophageal physiology will be shortly mentioned as far as necessary for a comprehensive understanding of peristaltic disturbances.

Oesophageal motility disorders

The Lancet, 1990
Oesophageal motility disorders comprise various abnormal manometric patterns which usually present with dysphagia or chest pain. Some, such as achalasia, are diseases with a well defined pathology, characteristic manometric features, and good response to treatments directed at the pathophysiological abnormalities.

Fundoplication Improves Disordered Esophageal Motility

Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2003
Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and disordered esophageal motility are at risk for postoperative dysphagia, and are often treated with partial (270-degree) fundoplication as a strategy to minimize postoperative swallowing difficulties.

Esophageal Motility Disorders in HIV Patients

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1998
Opportunistic esophageal infections (Candida, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus) and idiophatic esophageal ulcerations are commonly found in HIV patients. However, motility disorders of the esophagus have seldom been investigated in this population.

Diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders

Postgraduate Medicine, 1990
Esophageal motility disorders are now known to be a heterogeneous group of conditions that commonly cause dysphagia and chest pain. Motor dysphagia is usually provoked by solids and liquids (in contrast to mechanical dysphagia, which is usually provoked by solids only). Chest pain with these disorders is nonspecific and can mimic angina pectoris.

Der Internist, 2016
Esophageal motility disorders are a group of diseases that result in swallowing dysfunction due to changes in neuromuscular structures, which coordinate esophageal function. Besides achalasia, which is the best defined functional disturbance of the esophagus, there are other motility disorders, namely hypercontractile (diffuse esophageal spasm ...

Minerva gastroenterologica e dietologica, 2006
Esophageal motility abnormalities are usually diagnosed when esophageal manometry is performed in patients with unexplained non-cardiac chest pain, non obstructive dysphagia or as a part of the preoperative evaluation for surgery of gastroesophageal reflux. Classification of these abnormalities has been a subject of controversy.
