Chronic opioid use can lead to a variety of esophageal disorders, including type III achalasia, esophagogastric outflow obstruction (EGJOO), diffuse esophageal spasm (DES), and hypercontractile

Recent guidelines have recommended peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) as first-line therapy for all subtypes of achalasia, given that POEM and laparoscopic Heller myotomy have comparable

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an endoscopic procedure that exposes the contents of the esophagus to the sterile mediastinum during the myotomy. This allows microbial

Spastic esophageal motility disorders (SEMDs) include a group of esophageal dysmotility conditions that are difficult to treat and often refractory to nonsurgical and/or endoscopic measures.

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), an endoscopic modality for managing major esophageal motility disorders, has gained popularity in the last decade. Multiple controlled studies and systematic
