Aim: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) of the lower esophageal sphincter is an established treatment modality for various esophageal motility disorders, especially achalasia cardia. Although safe it can be associated with major and minor adverse events (AEs). Postprocedure computed tomography (CT) esophagogram is frequently performed for early diagnosis of AEs. We aimed to evaluate the utility of routine CT esophagogram after POEM.
