Z POEM USING BIPOLAR RADIOFREQUENCY AND MICROWAVE ENERGY DEVICE IN A PARKINSONS PATIENT WITH DEEP BRAIN STIMULATOR IMPLANT

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video demonstrates a Z-POEM procedure using a bipolar radiofrequency and high-frequency microwave coagulation energy platform in a Parkinson's patient with a deep brain stimulator implant. The patient presented with dysphagia, regurgitation, and recurrent cough, and was found to have a Zenker's diverticulum. Due to the contraindication of using monopolar diathermy devices with the deep brain stimulator, a novel bipolar device was used successfully. The procedure involved dissection, coagulation, and injection with the device, leading to reduced cough symptoms and discharge on postoperative day 4. The unique features of the bipolar microwave energy device helped in conducting the delicate procedure effectively.
