Who Needs Endoscopic Removal of Food Residue From the Esophagus Before Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Esophageal Achalasia and Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction?

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established treatment for esophageal achalasia. Despite favorable outcomes, the risk of reflux aspiration during general anesthesia induction in POEM remains a concern. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for food residue in the esophagus before POEM and evaluate the necessity of ...

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 ...

Enhanced Visualization of the Distal Myotomy Endpoint during Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Using Indocyanine Green With Infrared Imaging

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG‐IRI) provides real‐time fluorescence visualization of the distal myotomy endpoint during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study of 39 patients, ICG‐IRI achieved a 94.9% success rate in fluorescence detection and significantly improved esophageal relaxation and symptoms.

Evaluation of Dysphagia in Myositis and Muscular Dystrophy Using Real‐Time MRI and Quantitative Muscle Ultrasound

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Swallowing dysfunction—dysphagia—is a frequent and debilitating symptom in neuromuscular disorders, leading to malnutrition, cachexia, aspiration pneumonia, and death. Identification of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms is important for diagnosis and treatment.

Correlation Between “Jet Phenomenon” and Pharyngeal High Resolution Manometry: A Pilot Study

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Jet phenomenon (JP) refers to a turbulent high‐flow jet of contrast agent passing through a narrow upper esophageal sphincter (UES) and is observed on fluoroscopic swallow studies in some patients with cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction (CPMD).

Catching the Wave: An Exploration of Posterior Pharyngeal Wall Movement in Healthy Swallowing

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective(s) Serial pharyngeal constrictor muscle contraction during swallowing can be seen fluoroscopically as a wave of posterior pharyngeal wall (PPW) movement. We characterized PPW thickness at rest and during swallowing at three anatomical levels (C2, C3, C4), accounting for effects of sex, age, and task.

Effects of Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation in Patients With Fecal Incontinence: A Systematic Review

Physiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Fecal incontinence (FI) is a condition characterized by the involuntary loss of stool, resulting from the inability to control the sphincter and neuromuscular mechanisms responsible for continence. Percutaneous electrical stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve (posterior tibial nerve stimulation—PTNS) has been used ...
