Evaluation of the safety profile of endoscopic pyloromyotomy by G-POEM: a French multicenter study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastric per oral endoscopic esophageal myotomy (G-POEM) is a promising procedure to treat refractory gastroparesis. The safety profile of G-POEM is an important topic because gastroparesis is a functional pathology, with a procedure whose effectiveness is between 50 and 65% depending on the studies.

Objectives

We present this retrospective multicenter study, with the aim of establishing a safety profile, focusing on serious adverse events (AEs).

Design

This was a multicenter observational cohort study conducted in five French expert centers.

Methods

All patients who underwent G-POEM for refractory gastroparesis between 2015 and 2021 were included for analysis. AEs were classified into per endoscopic, early postoperative, and late postoperative, up to
