A long-term follow-up study of gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) in a large cohort of patients with postsurgical gastroparesis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Postoperative gastroparesis occurs after surgeries which affect the upper digestive tract. Gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is a treatment for postoperative gastroparesis. The present study boasts the long-term efficacy and safety of G-POEM in a large cohort of patients.

Patients and methods

Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GERDQ) were utilized for the assessment of postsurgical gastroparesis symptoms. Gastroscope was used to observe the anastomotic site. Three-dimensional ultrasound was used to measure the morphological structure of the gastric antrum and pylorus tube. Gastric emptying time was calculated by analyzing the volume change of gastric antrum.

Results
