Video Summary

In this video, a panel of experts discuss the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POM) or Heller myotomy (HELM) procedures. One expert prefers to wait for symptoms before starting patients on PPIs and scopes them at three to six months to assess their condition. Another expert keeps patients on PPIs for up to three months post-POM to aid in healing and monitor for signs of reflux. They also discuss the resolution of chest pain after these procedures, with some patients reporting improvement. The panel also discusses pneumatic dilation and the management of recurrent dysphagia.
