BURIED MUCOSAL INCISION SITE DURING POEM PROCEDURE GIVING FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses the importance of proper closure of the mucosal incision site during a peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) procedure. The transcript describes a case where a patient experienced complications due to a buried mucosal incision site, causing fluid collection and infection in the submucosal tunnel. The closure was initially done using clips, but the buried incision site was later discovered on closer examination. The clips were removed, the collection drained, and the incision was widened to prevent further complications. The patient recovered well after proper management. The video emphasizes the need for secure mucosal closure to avoid potential complications. No credits were provided in the transcript.
