Title: Tu1374 Clinical Outcomes of Full Myotomy Versus Partial Myotomy in PerOral Endoscopic Myotomy for Achalasia Patients
Abstract: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is known to be safe and effective endoscopic surgery compared with surgical myotomy for achalasia patients. Although full myotomy may be more effective than partial myotomy in symptoms resolution, the effectiveness of full myotomy is not established. Moreover, concerns for perforation during POEM have been an obstacle in performing full myotomy. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and complication rates between full myotomy and partial myotomy among the patients underwent POEM for achalasia.
