Esophageal achalasia is a rare disorder characterized by a failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax during swallowing, combined with aperistalsis of the esophageal body. Treatment is not curative, but aims to eliminate the outflow resistance caused by the nonrelaxing lower esophageal sphincter. Current evidence suggests that both laparoscopic Heller myotomy and per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) are very effectiveinthe reliefof symptoms in patients with achalasia. Specifically, for type III achalasia, POEM may achieve higher success rates. However, POEM is associated to a very high incidence of pathologic reflux, with the risk of exchanging one disease–achalasia–with another–gastroesophageal reflux.

Abstract Objective With the advent of minimally invasive surgery, incisionless surgery, and third-space endoscopy, the treatment for Zenker's diverticulum has also moved toward less invasive techniques Methods New incisionless per oral techniques can be applied for cricopharyngeal myotomy in Zenker's diverticulum. Results Five patients underwent Zenker's diverticulum per oral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM) without complications, minimal discomfort, and narcotic consumption, with complete resolution of their symptoms by history and Eckardt scores. Conclusions Z-POEM is performed entirely endoscopically with very little associated pain or complication rates, with short-term follow-up having excellent functional and symptomatic results.
