Abstract

Peroral pyloromyotomy, an innovative intramural endoscopic surgery procedure, is a successful management option for appropriately selected patients who suffer from medically refractory gastroparesis. Gastroparesis is a debilitating disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, which significantly decreases quality of life and overall survival. This article describes the history and background, the indications for, the diagnosis of, and the preparation, technique, and short-term outcomes of peroral pyloromyotomy.

Keywords: Delayed gastric emptying; G-POEM; Gastroparesis; POP; Peroral pyloromyotomy.
