Abstract

Gastric per oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) of the pylorus is a technique that is recently being used to treat gastroparesis. Our aim was to report our experience in performing G-POEM for refractory gastroparesis of different etiologies and determine symptom improvement. Thirteen patients undergoing G-POEM are reported. Pre- and post-procedure gastric emptying study (GES) and PAGI-SYM for symptom severity were obtained. Patients underwent G-POEM by creating a submucosal tunnel starting in the greater curvature of the distal antrum and extending it to the beginning of the duodenal bulb, followed by a full thickness pyloromyotomy. All 13 gastroparesis patients successfully underwent G-POEM (one diabetic [DGp], four idiopathic [IGp], eight postsurgical [PSGp]). Postsurgical patients included 4 s/p esophagectomy for esophageal cancer, 3 s/p Nissen fundoplication, and 1 s/p esophagectomy for achalasia. There were no procedure-related side effects. Of 11 patients completing follow-up questionnaires, eight were improved subjectively (four patients reported considerably better, four patients somewhat better, one unchanged, and two worse). Individual symptom severity scores tended to improve, particularly vomiting, retching, and loss o...Continue Reading
