The number of hospitalizations for gastroparesis has risen over 300% in recent decades with increased physical, psychological, and healthcare burdens. Gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is a promising therapy for patients with refractory gastroparesis. This article reviews important considerations for G-POEM.
Predictive factors for clinical success after G-POEM include diabetic and idiopathic gastroparesis, shorter gastroparesis duration, symptoms predominant of nausea and emesis, and gastric emptying study showing gastric retention of > 20% at 4 h. Mucosal closure is a critical step for G-POEM; both sutures and clips have high success rates, with clips having a trend to lower success rates but with significantly shorter procedure time and cheaper cost. G-POEMs have an overall 61% pooled success rate at one year with a yearly 13% symptom recurrence rate. A careful patient selection can yield higher clinical success rates. Further studies are needed on variant G-POEM techniques for more durable outcomes.
近几十年来,胃轻瘫的住院人数增加了 300%以上,给患者带来了身体、心理和医疗负担。胃经口内镜肌切开术(G-POEM)是治疗难治性胃轻瘫的一种很有前途的疗法。本文综述了 G-POEM 的重要注意事项。
G-POEM 后临床成功的预测因素包括糖尿病性和特发性胃轻瘫、胃轻瘫持续时间较短、以恶心和呕吐为主的症状、胃排空研究显示 4 小时时胃潴留>20%。黏膜闭合是 G-POEM 的关键步骤;缝线和夹闭都有很高的成功率,夹闭的成功率有下降趋势,但手术时间更短,成本更低。G-POEM 在一年时的总体成功率为 61%,每年症状复发率为 13%。仔细选择患者可以获得更高的临床成功率。需要进一步研究不同的 G-POEM 技术以获得更持久的效果。
