Description
Francisco Paulo Ponte Prado, Ivens Filizola Soares Machado, and five colleagues report results of an endoscopic treatment for achalasia in this two thousand twenty-three study. Achalasia is a gullet disorder causing hard swallowing and regurgitation, with no cure; treatments ease the lower gullet sphincter's grip. Peroral endoscopic myotomy cuts that muscle from inside the gullet, through the mouth, with no outside cuts. The team studied ninety-four patients treated at a reference center over six years under a set protocol.
Only three patients had problems after the procedure. Symptom scores on the Eckardt scale rose by roughly seven points soon after and stayed much better later. The authors conclude the method can be copied with a strong safety record, clear symptom relief, better gullet emptying, and better quality of life in the short term. The study adds real-world data from Brazil.
