Abstract:
ObjectiveTo determine the effect of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) on esophageal manometry in patients with achalasia.MethodsEsophageal manometric data of 3 patients with achalasin before and after POEM was retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe post-POEM lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) and upper esophageal sphincter residual pressure (UESRP) were significantly lower than those of before ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The average post-POEM lower esophageal sphincter residual pressure (LESRP) decreased (P ＞0.05),with significant decrease to normal level in 2 patients and almost unchanged (above normal) in the other.The esophageal aperistalsis remained after POEM in all 3 patients.The lower esophageal sphincter relaxing rate (LESRR) remained lower than normal after POEM as before.The average upper esophgeal sphincter pressure (UESP) decreased after POEM without statistical significance.ConclusionPOEM can improve the outcomes of esophageal manometry in patients with achalasia in the short term.
