Core Tip Third-space endoscopy has redefined the management of complex foregut disorders through techniques such as cricopharyngeal, esophageal, gastric, and Zenker’s myotomies. These procedures offer effective, less invasive alternatives to traditional surgery, with growing evidence of durable outcomes. This review outlines key technical refinements and clinical milestones that have expanded their indications and safety. Emerging innovations such as artificial intelligence models and precision-based techniques signal the next frontier. These advancements are expanding the scope and safety of third-space endoscopy, moving it closer to broader clinical adoption and personalized surgical care.
