Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an innovative minimally invasive technique and has emerged as the preferred modality for treating achalasia and spastic esophageal disorders in numerous specialized centers worldwide. Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common complication following POEM procedures. Recently, an article in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, providing a comprehensive update on post-POEM GER. In this article, the authors present novel insights and strategies that offer valuable implications for endoscopy.
