Core Tip	With recent advancements in endoscopic techniques and technology, peroral endoscopic myo-tomy, also known as peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), has emerged as a promising minimally inva-sive procedure for treating achalasia. POEM uses the technique of endoscopic submucosal dissection to create a myotomy and palliate symptoms of achalasia. Although long-term outcomes are still needed, short-term outcomes show good safety and efficacy of the procedure that are comparable to laparoscopic Heller myotomy. In this review we will review the technical details of the procedure itself as well as the reported outcomes.
