Abstract

Background

With the development of minimally invasive endoscopic approaches for the esophagus in recent years, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in the treatment of esophageal diverticulum has been described recently in some reports due to its successful outcomes. The aim of this study is to report our experience with the use of diverticular POEM (D-POEM) technique in the management of esophageal diverticulum.

Methods

This retrospective study included consecutive patients with symptomatic esophageal diverticulum who visited our endoscopy center between April 2014 and January 2019. D-POEM was performed based on the principles of submucosal endoscopy. A new symptomatic scoring system was introduced to evaluate the severity of diverticular symptoms.

Results

A total of 10 patients with esophageal diverticulum (Zenker’s 2, mid-esophagus 5, and epiphrenic 3) were included. The overall technical success rate of D-POEM was 100%, with a mean procedure time of 38.9 ± 20.5 (range 16–70) min. No serious complications occurred. Clinical improvement was achieved in 90% (9/10) of patients. The symptomatic score was significantly decreased from 2.5 (IQR 2.00–3.25) to 1.0 (IQR 0–1.25) (P = 0.007) during a median follow-up period of 11.0 (IQR 10.25–17.25) months.

Conclusion

These findings suggested complete septotomy by D-POEM. Our preliminary data and experience put forwarded D-POEM as a safe and effective technique for esophageal diverticulum.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
