Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a novel technique within the field of third space endoscopy. The overarching principal is creation of a mucosal incision, careful dissection of the submucosal space using an electrosurgical knife to reach the muscularis (ie, tunneling), performing a controlled myotomy, and finally, closure of the mucosal incision. POEM was first developed for the management of achalasia, and now a decade of evidence shows the procedure is safe, effective, and highly reproducible.

Objective: Zenker diverticulum is a mucosal herniation at the pharyngoesophageal junction. Although open surgical myotomy is the conventional treatment, robust evidence on third-space flexible endoscopic myotomy is lacking. We assessed safety, effectiveness, and patient-reported outcomes of per-oral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM) in the largest reported single-center experience with this technique.

Purpose Of Review: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been found to increase en bloc and R0 resection as well as decrease risk of recurrence. However, despite literature supporting the benefits of endoscopic submucosal dissection, adoption of ESD in the United States has been challenging, driven by factors including requirement for specialized training as well as limitations in training availability.
Recent Findings: Many devices have been developed to improve ease and therefore adoption for the procedure, with advancements in stability, resection as well as closure of the mucosal defect following resection.

Purpose Of Review: The number of hospitalizations for gastroparesis has risen over 300% in recent decades with increased physical, psychological, and healthcare burdens. Gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is a promising therapy for patients with refractory gastroparesis. This article reviews important considerations for G-POEM.
