| Core Tip |
Risk factors for post peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) gastroesophageal reflux disease highlighted in the review are a higher body mass index > 35 kg/m2, the presence of hiatal hernia, a low integrated relaxation pressure post-POEM, pre-POEM lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressures below 45 mmHg, low post-POEM LES pressure, and female gender. The achalasia community should perhaps consider whether these patients might be better suited to a laparoscopic Heller’s cardiomyotomy and partial fundoplication rather than a POEM. |
