MODIFIED DIVERTICULAR PERORAL ENDOSCOPIC MYOTOMY WITH PERIDIVERITUCLAR ADHESIOLYSIS AND MUCOSAL FLAP RECONSTRUCTION

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The technique of diverticular peroral endoscopic myotomy was described as a minimally invasive procedure for treating large esophageal diverticula. The procedure involves creating a submucosal tunnel to expose and dissect the muscular septum on both sides of the diverticulum. In cases of extensive fibrosis and atrophic submucosa limiting dissection, the muscle is pierced to reach and dissect through the peridiverticular space. A full thickness myotomy is performed to allow the diverticulum to eventually collapse. Mucosotomy and flap reconstruction are done to prevent food retention. The patient in the case study experienced symptom resolution and weight gain post-procedure. Further research is needed to confirm the technique's safety and efficacy.
