Surgical Endoscopy Series Ep. 3: Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy

In this episode, the Surgical Endoscopy team reviews applications of per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) at different locations in the gastrointestinal tract. Specifically, they discuss esophageal POEM for achalasia, G-POEM for gastroparesis, and Z-POEM for management of a Zenker’s diverticulum. The team describes outcomes for these procedures as well as an overview of the procedural steps and postoperative management. Common pitfalls to POEM are deliberated along with advice on how to mitigate challenging situations when they arise.
