Abstract
Per oral endoscopic myotomy is an endoscopic procedure that accesses the potential third space of the esophageal wall—the submucosa—to perform a myotomy of the distal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction. This article describes the series of steps along with tips and suggested solutions to performing a POEM in patients with achalasia.
