Peroral endoscopic myotomy for cricopharyngeal bar.

Project description:Background and aimsDefinitive treatment options for refractory dysphagia due to cricopharyngeal bar are limited. We aimed to demonstrate a novel adaptation of peroral endoscopic myotomy to treat this condition (cricopharyngeal peroral endoscopic myotomy [c-POEM]).MethodsThe approach to c-POEM is similar to that in the distal esophagus for the treatment of achalasia. A submucosal injection and overlying mucosal incision are performed, ideally 1.5 to 2 cm upstream of the upper esophageal sphincter, and then a submucosal tunnel is extended beyond the level of the cricopharyngeus. The target muscle is then transected before closure of the mucosotomy.ResultsIn 3 cases of refractory cricopharyngeal bar, c-POEM was successfully performed. Although no major adverse events occurred, significant postprocedural edema at the level of the upper esophageal sphincter prolonged hospitalization in 2 of the 3 patients. After recovery, all patients reported complete resolution of dysphagia and tolerated an unrestricted diet.ConclusionsC-POEM allows reliable and complete muscular division in patients with refractory cricopharyngeal bar who have limited treatment options.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy in the Management of Zenker's Diverticulum: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.

Project description:Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an emerging technique in the treatment of Zenker's diverticulum (ZD). This study aimed to analyze the feasibility of Zenker's POEM (Z-POEM) in a multicenter setting and assess its performance using a validated Kothari-Haber Scoring System newly developed for symptom measurement in ZD. This was a multicenter retrospective study involving three Polish tertiary referral endoscopic units. The data of consecutive patients with symptomatic ZD treated with Z-POEM in Poland between May 2019 and August 2020 were retrieved and analyzed. Primary outcome measures were technical success and clinical success rate (<3 points in Kothari-Haber Score at 2-3 months follow-up). Secondary outcome measures included procedures' duration, length of hospital stay, and adverse events. 22 patients with symptomatic ZD were included. The mean age was 67.6 (±10.7) years, and 14 (63.6%) were male. All but two patients were treatment naïve. The average size of the ZD was 30 mm (IQR, 24-40 mm). Technical success was achieved in all patients (100%), whereas clinical success was 90.9%. The average Kothari-Haber Score was 6.35 before treatment and has dropped to 0.65 after the treatment (p < 0.0001). The mean procedure time was 48.8 (±19.3) minutes, and the median length of hospital stay was 2 days (IQR, 2-3). Three patients (13.6%) had post-procedural emphysema, of which two were mild and self-resolving (9.1%), and one was moderate (4.5%) and complicated with laryngeal edema and prolonged intubation. This feasibility study suggests that Z-POEM is a highly effective and safe treatment for ZD, particularly among treatment-naïve patients. Comparative studies with other treatment modalities over longer follow-up are warranted.
