This retrospective study is aimed at evaluating the outcomes of a modified peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) technique in patients with type II achalasia.
We performed a modified POEM procedure, which involved a shorter (total myotomy length = 4 cm), full-thickness myotomy, on 31 patients with type II achalasia. Clinical success rates, technical success rates, pre- and postoperative esophageal manometry results, complications, and reflux-related adverse events were evaluated.
The clinical success (Eckardt score ≤ 3) rates were 100% and 88.9% within 2 years and beyond 2 years postoperatively, respectively. The median lower esophageal sphincter pressures (LESP) decreased from 31.6 (26.7-49.7) mmHg preoperatively to 13.4 (10.5-21.6) and 11.8 (7.4-16.7) mmHg ( < 0.001) at 6 and 12 months postoperatively, respectively. The median integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) decreased from 27.8 (20.6-37.5) mmHg preoperatively to 12.9 (11.3-23.4) and 11.6 (9.6-16.8) mmHg ( < 0.001) at 6 and 12 months after POEM, respectively. Only one case (3.2%) of mucosal injury, four (12.9%) cases of reflux esophagitis, and two (6.5%) cases of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms were reported.
The modified POEM technique showed excellent outcomes in patients with type II achalasia.
本回顾性研究旨在评估改良经口内镜下肌切开术(POEM)治疗Ⅱ型贲门失弛缓症患者的疗效。
我们对31例Ⅱ型贲门失弛缓症患者实施了改良POEM手术,该手术包括较短(总肌切开长度=4厘米)的全层肌切开术。评估临床成功率、技术成功率、术前和术后食管测压结果、并发症以及反流相关不良事件。
术后2年内和2年以上的临床成功率( Eckardt评分≤3)分别为100%和88.9%。食管下括约肌压力(LESP)中位数术前为31.6(26.7 - 49.7)mmHg,术后6个月和12个月分别降至13.4(10.5 - 21.6)mmHg和11.8(7.4 - 16.7)mmHg(<0.001)。综合松弛压(IRP)中位数术前为27.8(20.6 - 37.5)mmHg,POEM术后6个月和12个月分别降至12.9(11.3 - 23.4)mmHg和11.6(9.6 - 16.8)mmHg(<0.001)。仅报告1例(3.2%)黏膜损伤、4例(12.9%)反流性食管炎和2例(6.5%)胃食管反流症状。
改良POEM技术在Ⅱ型贲门失弛缓症患者中显示出优异的疗效。
