Core Tip This review aims to highlight the importance of a new minimally invasive technique for the treatment of achalasia, compared to classical surgical treatment. Although discovered recently, this method has already imposed itself as a safe and very efficient therapy. The difficult issue in this topic is related to the specialist who performs it and the learning curve in such a rare pathology. The gastroenterologist has to be expert in interventional endoscopy and have special skills in surgery, an excellent knowledge in anatomy and the strength to manage the complications. Considering the low rate of adverse events and the efficacy, as a team already performing POEM, we believe that this is the therapy of the future for achalasia.
