ESD/Submucosal Endoscopy-PER ORAL ENDOSCOPIC MYOTOMY (POEM ) USING A ENDOSCOPIC DISSECTOR

PER ORAL ENDOSCOPIC MYOTOMY (POEM ) USING A ENDOSCOPIC DISSECTOR - ANOTHER NOVEL DEVICE IN OUR TOOL BOX

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the authors introduce the endoscopic dissector as a novel device for use in per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) procedures. They discuss various electrosurgical knives commonly used in POEM, as well as newer devices such as the stag beetle knife and electrocautery-enhanced scissors. The endoscopic dissector, originally used in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), is highlighted for its potential benefits in POEM, including blunt dissection and hemostasis. They present a case study of an 89-year-old male who underwent a POEM procedure using the endoscopic dissector, demonstrating its successful use in tunneling, myotomy, and controlled resection. The authors conclude by suggesting further comparative trials to determine the role of the endoscopic dissector in POEM.
