Many centers have reported excellent short-term efficacy of per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for the treatment of achalasia. However, long-term data are limited and there are few studies comparing the efficacy of POEM versus Heller Myotomy (HM).
To compare the long-term clinical efficacy of POEM versus HM.
Using a retrospective, parallel cohort design, all cases of POEM or HM for achalasia between 2010 and 2015 were assessed. Clinical failure was defined as (a) Eckardt Score > 3 for at least 4 weeks, (b) achalasia-related hospitalization, or (c) repeat intervention. All index manometries were classified via Chicago Classification v3. Pre-procedural clinical, manometric, radiographic data, and procedural data were reviewed.
98 patients were identified (55 POEM, 43 Heller) with mean follow-up of 3.94 years, and 5.44 years, respectively. 83.7% of HM patients underwent associated anti-reflux wrap (Toupet or Dor). Baseline clinical, demographic, radiographic, and manometric data were similar between the groups. There was no statistical difference in overall long-term success (POEM 72.7%, HM 65.1% p = 0.417, although higher rates of success were seen in Type III Achalasia in POEM vs Heller (53.3% vs 44.4%, p < 0.05). Type III Achalasia was the only variable associated with failure on a univariate COX analysis and no covariants were identified on a multivariate Cox regression. There was no statistical difference in GERD symptoms, esophagitis, or major procedural complications.
POEM and HM have similar long-term (4-year) efficacy with similar adverse event and reflux rates. POEM was associated with greater efficacy in Type III Achalasia.
许多中心报告了经口内镜肌切开术(POEM)治疗贲门失弛缓症的短期疗效优异。然而,长期数据有限,且比较 POEM 与 Heller 肌切开术(HM)疗效的研究较少。
比较 POEM 与 HM 治疗贲门失弛缓症的长期临床疗效。
采用回顾性平行队列设计,评估 2010 年至 2015 年间所有接受 POEM 或 HM 治疗的贲门失弛缓症病例。临床失败定义为(a)Eckardt 评分>3 至少 4 周,(b)与贲门失弛缓症相关的住院治疗,或(c)再次干预。所有指数测压均通过芝加哥分类 v3 进行分类。回顾性分析术前临床、测压、影像学和手术数据。
共纳入 98 例患者(55 例 POEM,43 例 HM),平均随访 3.94 年和 5.44 年。HM 患者中 83.7%行抗反流包裹术(Toupet 或 Dor)。两组间基线临床、人口统计学、影像学和测压数据相似。总体长期成功率无统计学差异(POEM 72.7%,HM 65.1%,p=0.417,尽管 POEM 中 III 型贲门失弛缓症的成功率更高(53.3%比 44.4%,p<0.05)。单因素 COX 分析显示,III 型贲门失弛缓症是失败的唯一相关变量,多因素 COX 回归未发现协变量。GERD 症状、食管炎或主要手术并发症无统计学差异。
POEM 和 HM 的长期(4 年)疗效相似,不良反应和反流发生率相似。POEM 与 III 型贲门失弛缓症的疗效更相关。
