Title: RESULTS AFTER FIVE YEARS OF POEM AT KLINIKUM AUGSBURG, GERMANY
Abstract: Achalasia refers to the lack of smooth muscle relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Classic endoscopic therapy such as pneumatic dilatation and injection of botulinum toxin are often associated with a poor relief of symptoms as well as a high recurrence rate. Peroral endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a new endoscopic treatment for achalasia.
