To Investigate the Incidence of Reflux in Patients After Per-oral Endoscopic Myotomy in Achalasia Cardia Patients

Achalasia is a rare motility disorder of the oesophagus that is characterized by aperistalsis of the oesophagal body and dysrelaxation of the lower oesophagal sphincter (LES). Current treatment is palliative, and the aim of the treatment is to diminish the obstructive function of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). Due to this approach, the most frequent complication post-treatment is gastroesophageal reflux (GER). However, not every treated patient develops GER symptoms and the mechanism behind the occurrence of GER in treated achalasia are unclear. In this study, we aim to Investigate the incidence of reflux in patients after peroral endoscopic myotomy in patients with achalasia cardia.
