“YOU GOTTA LIFT TO GET RIPPED:” INJECTION-LIFT MYOTOMY

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a novel technique called injection lift myotomy for paraoral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), used to treat type 2 achalasia. In this technique, a mixture of methylene blue and saline is injected into the intermuscular and subadventitial spaces during myotomy. This allows for better visualization of muscle fibers, blood vessels, and extraluminal structures, resulting in a safer and more controlled myotomy. The advantages of injection lift myotomy include precise selective circular myotomy, reduced capnoperitoneum, prevention of adjacent organ injury, and avoidance of bleeding from extraluminal vessels. Overall, this technique improves the dissection process and decreases the risk of complications. Credits: The video transcript does not mention any credits.
