Safety and feasibility of same-day discharge for per-oral endoscopic myotomy
The majority of patients achieved same-day discharge clearance (82%) and 96% required less than 24 hours hospital stay. Complication and re-admission rates were low overall. We have demonstrated that POEM can be an SDD procedure facilitated by early dietary introduction and liberal analgesia, without the need for routine imaging or endoscopy.
