In brief
In brief
This international multicenter study evaluates peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) as a treatment for spastic esophageal disorders that don't respond to medication. The findings demonstrate POEM is both effective and safe for managing these challenging motility disorders, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical approaches.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
POEM offers a logical therapeutic modality for patients with SEDs refractory to medical therapy. Results from this international study suggest POEM as an effective and safe platform for these patients.
