Abstract
BACKGROUND
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established treatment option for esophageal achalasia. However, technical challenges and failures exist. Submucosal fibrosis is a rare cause of aborted POEM procedures.
CASE SUMMARY
We performed POEM with an elastic ring for achalasia with obvious submucosal fibrosis. The short-term outcome was excellent, surgery time was significantly shorter, and success rate was higher with POEM for achalasia with obvious submucosal fibrosis.
CONCLUSION
POEM performed with an elastic ring is a feasible and effective endoscopic treatment modality for achalasia with obvious submucosal fibrosis.
Core Tip: Peroral endoscopic myotomy performed with an elastic ring is a feasible and effective endoscopic treatment modality for achalasia with obvious submucosal fibrosis.
