Assessment of Different Modified POEM for Achalasia

Официальное название

Comparison Study of Conventional Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) and Different Modified Procedures of POEM for Achalasia

Обзор

The aims of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of conventional myotomy (circular myotomy) and modified myotomy (full-thickness myotomy) in the treatment of achalasia patients.

Подробное описание

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a novel clinical technique used to treat achalasia. The conventional POEM myotomy length averages 8 to 10 cm (4-6 cm in the esophagus, 2-4cm in the LES, 2cm in the cardia \& 6-8 cm above and 2 cm below the gastroesophageal junction \[GEJ\]) for typical achalasia (Chicago classification I, II), with only the inner circular muscle layer incised.

There is still no conclusion on the thickness of muscle bundle dissection recommended during POEM. Selective circular muscle myotomy is designed to avoid gastroesophageal reflux (GER) postoperatively and decrease morbidity during POEM. But one meta-analysis showed that Heller's surgery could keep patients in long-time remission, mainly because of its full-thickness muscle bundle dissection to make sure of persist relaxation of LES. A retrospective study comparing the outcomes of full-thickness and circular muscle myotomy showed no differences in efficacy, GER or adverse events, although the procedural time was shorter in the full thickness myotomy group.

Further randomized controlled trials are warranted to assess the efficacy and safety of different modified myotomy approaches in POEM for patients with achalasia.

Вмешательства

• Процедура conventional myotomy
  1. Initial mucosal incision. After submucosal injection, a reverse T entry incision is made at approximately 10 cm proximal to the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). 2. Submucosal tunnel establishment. A submucosal tunnel is created to 2-3 cm distal to the GEJ. 3. Endoscopic myotomy. A selective circular muscle myotomy is carried out in a proximal to distal direction, from 2 cm distal to the mucosal entry down to 2 cm distal to the GEJ. 4. Zippered closure of mucosal entry. The mucosal incision is
