Submucosal endoscopic esophageal myotomy: a novel experimental approach for the treatment of achalasia.
Endoscopy. 2007; (9): 761-4
The most permanent method of treating achalasia is a surgical myotomy. Because of the requirement for a mucosal incision and the risk of perforation, this procedure has not generally been approached endoscopically. We hypothesized that we could perform a safe and robust myotomy by working in the submucosal space, accessed from the esophageal lumen.
