ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To explore the feasibility of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in patients with achalasia and hiatal hernia. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We performed a retrospective review of 2136 patients with achalasia between January 2016 and December 2022. Patients with achalasia and hiatal hernia were assigned into study group, and matched patients with achalasia but no hiatal hernia were assigned into control group. The preoperative baseline information, procedure-related adverse events (AEs) and follow-up data were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:
Hiatal hernia was identified in 56/1564 (3.6%) patients with achalasia. All of these patients underwent POEM with success. The preoperative baseline characteristics were similar between the study and control group. The study group presented with a similar rate of mucosal injury (12.5% vs 16.1, P = 0.589), pneumothorax (3.6% vs 1.8%, P = 1.000), pleural effusion (8.9% vs 12.5%, P = 0.541) and major AEs (1.8% vs 1.8%, P = 1.000) compared with the control group. As for the follow-up data, no significant differences were observed in clinical success (96.4% vs 92.9%, P = 0.679; 93.6% vs 94.0%, P = 1.000; 86.5% vs 91.4%, P = 0.711) clinical reflux (25.0% vs 19.6%, P = 0.496; 31.9% vs 26.0%, P = 0.521; 35.1% vs 31.4%, P = 0.739) and proton pump inhibitor usage (17.9% vs 16.1%, P = 0.801; 29.8% vs 24.0%, P = 0.520; 32.4% vs 25.7%, P = 0.531) between the study group and control group at 1-year, 2-year and 3-year follow-ups.CONCLUSIONS:
POEM is a safe and effective treatment for achalasia combined with hiatal hernia.
