Use of intraoperative fluoroscopy to reduce post–peroral endoscopic myotomy reflux: a proof-of-concept study
Our study suggests that IOF could be used to tailor the myotomy to preserve sling fibers and in turn reduce PPG. Although our findings did not show statistical significance, the trend toward increased PPG in patients with a wider FA warrants a prospective controlled study to further test this hypothesis.
