Myotomy

06/01/2011 - "Currently, surgical myotomy and pneumatic dilation are the most effective treatments for patients with idiopathic achalasia, and a multicenter, randomized, international trial has confirmed similar efficacy of these treatments, at least in the short term. "
11/01/2010 - "This is the first study by a surgical group to assess the outcome of surgery in 3 manometric achalasia subtypes: patients with panesophageal pressurization have the best outcome after laparoscopic Heller-Dor myotomy."
01/01/2023 - "There are now three well-established, safe, and effective therapies for the treatment of achalasia: pneumatic dilation (PD), laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM), and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) which can lead to marked symptom improvement in most patients. "
10/01/2021 - "Although peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is highly effective for the management of achalasia, clinical failures may occur. "
01/01/2021 - "Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Is Safe and Highly Effective Treatment for Advanced Achalasia With Sigmoid Esophagus."

01/01/2023 - "According to SUCRA ranking, anterior peroral endoscopic myotomy (APOEM) (SUCRA = 84.6%) might have the highest probability to be the best treatment for dysphagia remission in AC patients, followed by POEM (SUCRA = 78.4%). "
12/01/2003 - "Laparoscopic Heller myotomy is a very effective treatment for patients who experience recurrent dysphagia following a transthoracic myotomy."
10/01/1997 - "The 12 patients evaluated twice (in 1987 and 1995) have had very good early results, 8-69 months after UES myotomy: dysphagia was totally relieved in eight patients, occurred rarely in three and was moderate in one. "
01/01/2017 - "Patients' reflux symptoms significantly improved after cricopharyngeal myotomy, with significant improvement in dysphagia symptoms. "
10/01/1998 - "Myotomy is beneficial in patients with pharyngeal swallowing disorders and manometric evidence of defective sphincter opening and increased intrabolus pressure."

01/01/2021 - "Although peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has emerged as a highly efficacious procedure in the treatment of a variety of esophageal motility disorders, currently no standard pathway for postprocedural care exists. "
01/01/2021 - "Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is a rare but increasingly recognized diagnosis as described by The Chicago Classification of Esophageal Motility Disorders version 3.0 (version 3.0).1 On high-resolution manometry (HRM), EGJOO is characterized by increased integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), yet with some preserved esophageal peristalsis.2-4 Little consensus exists on the preferred therapeutic approach.3 Although conceptually per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) should address the measurable dysfunction in the LES, few data exist to support this.5 Thus, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of POEM for the treatment of symptomatic EGJOO."
01/01/2021 - "Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an effective treatment for esophageal motility disorder. "
04/01/2017 - "The recently developed technique of per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been shown to be effective for the therapy of esophageal motility disorders. "
06/14/2021 - "Per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a safe and effective treatment for esophageal motility disorder in treatment-naïve patients as well as salvage therapy. "

08/01/2010 - "Flexible endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy is an effective treatment of symptomatic Zenker diverticulum, with low recurrence rates and with the benefit of no general anesthesia and hospitalization in most cases. "
12/01/2022 - "Zenker's diverticulum peroral endoscopic myotomy is effective in the case of an incipient Zenker's diverticulum."
01/01/2022 - "Zenker's peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM) has revolutionized the therapeutic strategy for Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) with promising results. "
12/01/2021 - "Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is attributed to a poorly compliant cricopharyngeus muscle, and the mainstay of treatment is a cricopharyngeal myotomy. "
01/01/2018 - "This variant of cricopharyngeal myotomy with flexible endoscopy is feasible and effective for the treatment of Zenker's diverticulum in selected patients."

08/01/2023 - "In addition, endoscopic myotomy for gastroparesis has shown very promising results. "
01/01/2021 - "Gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is a recently developed safe and effective procedure that has been performed here on five patients with severe post-LT gastroparesis. "
03/01/2020 - "Gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is a promising treatment for refractory gastroparesis: a systematic review and meta-analysis."
11/01/2019 - "Gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (GPOEM) is a promising treatment for refractory gastroparesis. "
08/01/2019 - "Our systematic review demonstrates that gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy is a safe and effective treatment for gastroparesis. "
