Core Tip	Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a minimally invasive, scarless approach to Heller myotomy for the palliation of symptoms of achalasia and spastic esophageal disorders. Current data demonstrates short-term success with minimal adverse events. POEM is no longer considered experimental with approximately 5000 procedures performed worldwide. In the future, a personalized approach to POEM will be undertaken with tailoring of the length of gastric myotomy based on intraprocedural physiological measurements. This will allow sufficient reduction in pressure at the lower esophageal sphincter for adequate relief of symptoms but also minimize gastroesophageal reflux.
