Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the treatment of gastroparesis using pyloric endoscopic myoablation with a thulium fiber laser and mucosal defect closure with endoscopic hand suture. The success rate of the treatment is around 50-80%. By using a novel laser, they aim to prevent muscle fibers from reconnecting during healing. A case study of a 72-year-old male with symptoms of gastroparesis after failed reflux surgery is presented. The procedure involves using the laser for tissue ablation and closing the defect with hand sutures. Overall, the thulium fiber laser proves effective and safe for G-POEM procedures, demonstrating precise tissue ablation.
