Peroral endoscopic myotomy versus pneumatic dilation - result from a retrospective study with 1-year follow-up.

CONCLUSION: In this retrospective analysis with 1-year follow-up, POEM presents with a higher success rate and more reflux symptoms compared with PD. Change on LES function after treatment may explain the outcome in part. Type I achalasia may respond better to therapies compared with type II. PMID: 30861554 [PubMed - in process]
