Overview

Retrospective study reports high clinical success following peroral endoscopic myotomy in patients with achalasia, indicating reliable symptom relief despite minor adverse events.

Key Points

  • Peroral endoscopic myotomy achieved clinical success in 96.1% of patients with achalasia, yielding a significant median Eckardt score reduction of 8 points at two months.
  • Retrospective assessment of 51 patients undergoing peroral endoscopic myotomy from January 2021 to July 2023 tracked procedural outcomes and post-treatment complications.
  • Supports peroral endoscopic myotomy as an effective achalasia treatment, though post-procedure reflux esophagitis developed in 17.6% of cases and requires ongoing clinical care.
