Changes in peristalsis following per oral endoscopic myotomy in common esophageal motility disorders
Per-oral endoscopic myotomy is used for treatment of all types of achalasia and non-achalasia motility disorders. Peristalsis is regained in some patients with Type 1 and 2 achalasia, where some peristalsis is lost in Type 3 achalasia. Type 3 and jackhammer esophagus have normal DCI after the procedure, and esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction shows the poorest outcomes with some patients losing peristalsis, decrease in DCI and wave amplitude.
