Endoscopic Pseudo-dilation of Esophagogastric Junction During Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy: (With Video). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aim During peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for achalasia, endoscopic esophagogastric junction (EGJ) opening is generally considered a sign of successful myotomy. However, in clinical practice, the EGJ may appear to open immediately after submucosal tunneling, even before myotomy is performed.

Peroral endoscopic myotomy: techniques and outcomes [PDF]
Achalasia is progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the esophagus, resulting in uncoordinated esophageal motility and failure of lower esophageal sphincter relaxation, leading to impaired swallowing. Surgical myotomy of the lower esophageal sphincter, either open or minimally invasive, has been a standard of care for the past several decades ...

Insights into the endoscopic management of esophageal achalasia
Achalasia is a primary esophageal motility disorder characterized by the loss of inhibitory neurons in the myenteric plexus, resulting in impaired relaxation of the esophagogastric junction. Achalasia is an incurable disease, and the treatment modalities

Is Single-Session Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy With Fundoplication Safe and Effective in Achalasia? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
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 ...
