THE FIRST U.S. EXPERIENCE OF PERORAL ENDOSCOPIC MYOTOMY WITH FUNDOPLICATION

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the technique of peroral endoscopic myotomy with fundoplication (POEM-F) is discussed as a minimally invasive alternative to laparoscopic heller myotomy for the treatment of achalasia. While POEM has shown success, it is often associated with post-poem gastroesophageal reflux (GER). To address this issue, a novel technique called POEM-F, which mimics the DOR fundoplication, was introduced. The video discusses the step-by-step procedure of POEM-F and provides recommendations to prevent complications. The video concludes that POEM-F is safe and feasible with excellent short-term outcomes, but further studies are needed to validate its effectiveness.
