Interventions

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomyother

A forward-viewing upper endoscope is used with a transparent distal cap attachment. Carbon dioxide gas is necessary for insufflation during the procedures. An endoscopic knife is used to access the submucosa, dissect the submucosal tunnel and also to divide circular muscle bundles over a length of approximately 10cm, extending 2-3cm onto the cardia. An electric generator is used with spray coagulation mode. A coagulating forceps is used for hemostasis as needed. Closure of the mucosal entry site is performed using standard endoscopic clips
