Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses a novel navigational tunneling method called gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (GPOEM) for the treatment of gastroparesis. The technique involves creating a submucosal tunnel in the gastric antrum, guiding the submucosal dissection in the direction of the pylorus. This technique improves the efficiency of the procedure by providing a visual path and identifying the pylorus. The video presents a case study of a patient undergoing GPOEM, demonstrating the steps involved. The average tunneling time for six consecutive patients was 15 minutes and 36 seconds. The technique is found to be effective, even in patients with J-shaped stomachs.
