- W3208878314 abstract "Abstract Aims Laparoscopic Heller’s myotomy (LHM) has been the surgical gold standard for treatment of oesophageal achalasia. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been proposed as an alternative technique. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of POEM for achalasia in our unit. Methods We have operated on 202 patients for oesophageal achalasia since 2005: 107 had LHM, 86 had POEM, and 9 had an oesophagectomy. We assessed the clinical outcome of POEM comparing pre- and postoperative endoscopic, radiologic and manometric findings, as well as Eckardt-, GERD- and DsQoL score for achalasia. All follow-up patients were offered endoscopy. Results Data were completed for the first 45 POEM patients. The average age was 45 years. 18 patients (40%) had prior achalasia treatment. The median hospital stay was 2 days (2-5). There was no mortality, but 4 patients (9%) had post-operative complications. The median follow-up was 24 months (12-49). Clinical success (Eckardt score ≤ 3) was achieved in 39 patients (87%). Thirteen patients (29%) were taking PPIs for chest symptoms. Eleven of these underwent pH studies of whom only 1 had a DeMeester score > 14.5. Of the 24 patients who had post-operative endoscopy, 40% was diagnosed with oesophagitis grade A, yet only 5 of them were symptomatic. Conclusions POEM appears to be safe and effective and warrants consideration as first-line therapy in expert achalasia centres. Longer term randomized studies comparing the outcomes of POEM with LHM and pneumatic dilatation will determine its place in the treatment of achalasia." @default.
