Background Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is effective for the management of achalasia and its variants; however, it can be ineffective in some patients. We aimed to develop and validate a risk scoring system to predict the clinical failure of POEM preoperatively. Methods Consecutive patients who underwent POEM in 14 high volume centers between 2010 and 2020 were enrolled in this study. Clinical failure was defined as an Eckardt score of ≥ 4 or retreatment. A risk scoring system to predict the short-term clinical failure of POEM was developed using multivariable logistic regression and internally validated using bootstrapping and decision curve analysis. Results Of the 2740 study patients, 112 (4.1 %) experienced clinical failure 6 months after POEM. Risk scores were assigned for three preoperative factors as follows: preoperative Eckardt score (1 point), manometric diagnosis (−4 points for type II achalasia), and a history of prior treatments (1 point for pneumatic dilation or 12 points for surgical/endoscopic myotomy). The discriminative capacity (concordance statistics 0.68, 95 %CI 0.62–0.72) and calibration (slope 1.15, 95 %CI 0.87–1.40) were shown. Decision curve analysis demonstrated its clinical usefulness. Patients were categorized into low (0–8 points; estimated risk of clinical failure < 5 %) and high risk (9–22 points; ≥ 5 %) groups. The proportions of clinical failure for the categories were stratified according to the mid-term outcomes (log-rank test, P < 0.001). Conclusions This risk scoring system can predict the clinical failure of POEM preoperatively and provide useful information when making treatment decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
BACKGROUND : Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and reflux esophagitis remain problems after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). This study aimed to elucidate the risk factors and long-term course of reflux esophagitis and symptomatic GERD after POEM. METHODS : This multicenter cohort study involved 14 high volume centers. Overall, 2905 patients with achalasia-related esophageal motility disorders treated with POEM were analyzed for reflux esophagitis, severe reflux esophagitis (Los Angeles classification C or D), and symptomatic GERD. RESULTS : Reflux esophagitis was diagnosed in 1886 patients (64.9 %). Age ≥ 65 years (risk ratio [RR] 0.85), male sex (RR 1.11), posterior myotomy (RR 1.12), esophageal myotomy > 10 cm (RR 1.12), and gastric myotomy > 2 cm (RR 1.17) were independently associated with reflux esophagitis. Severe reflux esophagitis was diagnosed in 219 patients (7.5 %). Age ≥ 65 years (RR 1.72), previous treatments (RR 2.21), Eckardt score ≥ 7 (RR 0.68), sigmoid-type achalasia (RR 1.40), and esophageal myotomy > 10 cm (RR 1.59) were factors associated with severe reflux esophagitis. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were more effective for reflux esophagitis at 5-year follow-up (P = 0.03) than after 1 year (P = 0.08). Symptomatic GERD was present in 458 patients (15.9 %). Symptom duration ≥ 10 years (RR 1.28), achalasia diagnosis (RR 0.68), integrated relaxation pressure ≥ 26 (RR 0.60), and posterior myotomy (RR 0.80) were associated with symptomatic GERD. The incidence of symptomatic GERD was lower at 5-year follow-up compared with that after 1 year (P = 0.04), particularly in PPI users (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS : The incidence of severe reflux esophagitis was low after POEM, but excessive myotomy for older patients with previous treatments should be avoided. Early phase symptomatic GERD is non-acid reflux dependent and the natural course is favorable, basically supporting conservative treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND : This study aimed to assess the feasibility and efficacy of the novel loop 9 method of gastrointestinal (GI) defect closure. METHODS : 20 patients underwent a GI procedure that required defect closure. Loop 9 can be delivered through a single instrument channel (3.2 mm) and released at the defect site. After it has been anchored by two clips positioned on opposite sides of the defect edge, the loop 9 is tightened by pulling the end of the suture intraluminally using biopsy forceps. Additional clips are placed to achieve complete closure. The primary outcome was complete closure rate. The secondary outcomes were closure time, sustained closure rate, and adverse events. RESULTS : Complete closure was achieved in 100 % of cases. The mean size of the mucosal defects was 17.5 mm (range 10-55 mm). The median closure time was 14 minutes. The sustained closure rate was 90 %. No adverse events were noted. CONCLUSIONS : The loop 9 technique is feasible and effective in achieving complete and sustained closure of therapeutic endoscopy-related GI defects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The endoscopic pressure study integrated system (EPSIS) is a prototypic system for monitoring intragastric pressure (IGP) fluctuations that result from opening of the cardia during gastric distension. The performance of EPSIS for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was evaluated.Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of data prospectively collected over a 2-year period from 59 patients who underwent gastroscopy, EPSIS, and 24-hour pH monitoring. Using a dedicated electronic device and a through-the-scope catheter, maximum IGP (IGPmax) and IGP waveform pattern (uphill/flat) were recorded.Results: The optimal IGPmax cutoff was 18.7 mmHg. IGPmax < 18.7 mmHg (sensitivity 74.2 %, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 56.8 - 86.3; specificity 57.1 %, 95 %CI 39.1 - 73.5) and flat pattern (sensitivity 71.0 %, 95 %CI 53.4 - 83.9; specificity 82.1 %, 95 %CI 64.4 - 92.1) were associated with GERD. "Double" EPSIS positivity (IGPmax < 18.7 mmHg and flat pattern) provided maximum specificity (85.7 %, 95 %CI 68.5 - 94.3), whereas "any" EPSIS positivity (IGPmax < 18.7 mmHg or flat pattern) provided maximum sensitivity (80.6 %, 95 %CI 63.7 - 90.8). Maximum specificity and sensitivity for nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) was > 70 %. In multivariate analysis, "double" EPSIS positivity was the strongest predictor of GERD (odds ratio [OR] 16.05, 95 %CI 3.23 - 79.7) and NERD (OR 14.7, 95 %CI 2.37 - 90.8).Conclusion: EPSIS emerges as a reliable adjunct to routine gastroscopy for GERD diagnosis, and might prove helpful for the stratification and management of patients with reflux disorders.

Background: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has become the minimally invasive endoscopic treatment for achalasia; however, gastroesophageal reflux (GER) post-POEM has been reported. A pilot study was conducted in which an endoscopic fundoplication was added to the standard POEM (POEM + F) procedure to overcome this issue. We report the technical details of POEM + F and short-term safety results.Methods: POEM + F was performed in 21 patients. After completing myotomy, the endoscope was advanced from the submucosal tunnel into the peritoneal cavity. A partial mechanical barrier was created by retracting the anterior gastric wall at the esophagogastric junction with the use of endoclips and an endoloop.Results: POEM + F was technically feasible in all cases and created a visually recognizable fundoplication. The clinical course after POEM + F was uneventful. No immediate or delayed complications occurred.Conclusion: POEM + F may help mitigate the post-POEM incidence of GER and serve as a minimally invasive endoscopic alternative to a laparoscopic Heller-Dor procedure. This is the largest case series of peroral natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery without laparoscopic assistance in the human foregut. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
As shown in the video, the authors used blunt dissection in creating the submucosal tunnel in a peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) procedure. Then when tunneling close to the lower esophageal sphincter, blunt dissection was combined with electrodissection to avoid injury to the mucosal flap. Following mucosal incision and entry of the endoscope into the submucosal space and some initial electrodissection, blunt dissection using the tip of the distal attachment to the endoscope (the transparent cap) was then used effectively to establish the submucosal tunnel.

- Abstract
Background and Study Aims: Endocytoscopic images closely resemble histopathology. We assessed whether endocytoscopy could be used to determine T1 colorectal cancer histological grade., Patients and Methods: Endocytoscopic images of 161 lesions were divided into three types: tubular gland lumens, unclear gland lumens, and fused gland formations on endocytoscopy (FGFE). We retrospectively compared endocytoscopic findings with histological grade in the resected specimen superficial layer, and examined the incidence of risk factors for lymph node metastasis., Results: Of the 118 eligible lesions, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative predictive value, and positive likelihood ratio of tubular or unclear gland lumens to identify well-differentiated adenocarcinomas were 91.0 %, 93.1 %, 91.5 %, 77.1 %, and 13.20, respectively. To identify moderately differentiated adenocarcinomas for FGFE, these values were 93.1 %, 91.0 %, 91.5 %, 97.6 %, and 10.36, respectively. In the 35 lesions with FGFE, the rates of massive invasion, lymphovascular infiltration, and tumor budding were 97.1 %, 60.0 %, and 37.1 %, respectively., Conclusions: Endocytoscopy could be used to diagnose T1 colorectal cancer histological grade, and FGFE was a marker for recommending surgery., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None., (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)

- Abstract
Background and study aims Invasive cancer carries the risk of metastasis, and therefore, the ability to distinguish between invasive cancerous lesions and less-aggressive lesions is important. We evaluated a computer-aided diagnosis system that uses ultra-high (approximately × 400) magnification endocytoscopy (EC-CAD). Patients and methods We generated an image database from a consecutive series of 5843 endocytoscopy images of 375 lesions. For construction of a diagnostic algorithm, 5543 endocytoscopy images from 238 lesions were randomly extracted from the database for machine learning. We applied the obtained algorithm to 200 endocytoscopy images and calculated test characteristics for the diagnosis of invasive cancer. We defined a high-confidence diagnosis as having a ≥ 90 % probability of being correct. Results Of the 200 test images, 188 (94.0 %) were assessable with the EC-CAD system. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were 89.4 %, 98.9 %, 94.1 %, 98.8 %, and 90.1 %, respectively. High-confidence diagnosis had a sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, and NPV of 98.1 %, 100 %, 99.3 %, 100 %, and 98.8 %, respectively. Conclusion: EC-CAD may be a useful tool in diagnosing invasive colorectal cancer., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None, (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)

- Abstract
Recent advances in submucosal endoscopy have unlocked a new horizon for potential development in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is not only clinically feasible and safe, but also has excellent results in symptomatic relief of achalasia. The success of submucosal endoscopy in performance of tumor resection has confirmed the potential of this new area in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. This article reviews the current applications and evidence, from POEM to peroral endoscopic tunnel resection (POET), while exploring the possible future clinical applications in this field., (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)

- Abstract
Background and study aims: Optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps is expected to improve the cost-effectiveness of colonoscopy, but achieving a high accuracy is difficult for trainees. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) is therefore receiving attention as an attractive tool. This study aimed to validate the efficacy of the latest CAD model for endocytoscopy (380-fold ultra-magnifying endoscopy). Patients and methods: This international web-based trial was conducted between August and November 2015. A web-based test comprising one white-light and one endocytoscopic image of 205 small colorectal polyps (≤ 10 mm) from 123 patients was undertaken by both CAD and by endoscopists (three experts and ten non-experts from three countries). Outcome measures were accuracy in identifying neoplastic change in diminutive (≤ 5 mm) and small (≤ 10 mm) polyps, and accuracy in predicting post-polypectomy surveillance intervals according to current guidelines for high confidence optical diagnoses of diminutive polyps. Results: Of the 205 small polyps (147 neoplastic and 58 non-neoplastic), 139 were diminutive. CAD was accurate for 89 % (95 % confidence interval [CI] 83 % - 94 %) of diminutive polyps and 89 % (84 % - 93 %) of small polyps, which was significantly greater than results for the non-experts (73 % [71 % - 76 %], P < 0.001; and 76 % [74 % - 78 %], P < 0.001, respectively) and comparable with the experts' results (90 % [87 % - 93 %], P = 0.703; and 91 % [89 % - 93 %], P = 0.106, respectively). The surveillance interval predicted by CAD provided 98 % (93 % - 100 %) and 96 % (91 % - 99 %) agreement with pathology-directed intervals of the European and American guidelines, respectively. Conclusions: The use of CAD in endocytoscopy can be effective in the management of diminutive/small colorectal polyps.UMIN Clinical Trial Registry: UMIN000018185., (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)

- Abstract
Nutcracker esophagus and jackhammer esophagus are largely unknown motility disorders, also sometimes called hypertensive and hypercontractile peristalsis, respectively. There is currently no standardized diagnostic or management plan for these diseases. Here, we report on three patients with jackhammer/nutcracker esophagus who were treated with either peroral endoscopic myotomy or a systemic steroid regimen, focusing particularly on two novel presentations of nutcracker and jackhammer esophagus involving eosinophilic infiltration into the muscularis propria, and their responses to both interventions., (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)

- Abstract
Background and Study Aims: Intrapapillary capillary loops (IPCLs) have been used to estimate histopathological atypia and the invasion depth of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of IPCLs., Patients and Methods: A total of 358 consecutive patients with esophageal neoplasia on magnifying narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) were studied. The lesions were categorized according to the IPCL classification of Inoue et al. and were subsequently resected. Resected specimens were histopathologically analyzed to determine the invasion depth. The inter- and intraobserver agreements in the interpretation of IPCL images were also investigated., Results: A total of 446 lesions were diagnosed on M-NBI as IPCL type V lesions, which were further classified as 185 IPCL type V1, 109 type V2, 104 type V3, and 48 type Vn. Sensitivity and specificity of IPCL type V1-2 for invasion confined to the epithelium or lamina propria mucosa (m1-2) were 89.5 % (95 % confidence interval [CI] 85.4 % - 92.7 %) and 79.6 % (95 %CI 72.3 % - 85.7 %), respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of IPCL type V3 for invasion confined to the muscularis mucosa or slight submucosal invasion (m3-sm1) were 58.7 % and 83.8 %, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of IPCL type Vn for deeper invasion (sm2-3) were 55.8 % and 98.6 %, respectively. Interobserver agreement was substantial (κ = 0.609, 0.641, and 0.705), as was intraobserver agreement (κ = 0.705 and κ = 0.819)., Conclusion: Changes in the morphology of IPCLs on M-NBI correlated with the depth of SCC invasion, and results were reproducible and reliable among observers. Identification of IPCL type V1-2 proved useful for the intraprocedural identification of m1-2 lesions, which are considered an absolute indication for endoscopic resection., (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)

- Abstract
Background and Study Aims: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is technically challenging and time consuming. Repeated injection of dyed saline during tunneling is performed to enhance the demarcation between the submucosal layer and the muscularis propria. This process requires exchanging the knife for a catheter to spray dyed saline and is time consuming. This study aimed to describe a new method of injecting dyed saline through an integrated water jet channel during POEM., Patients and Methods: POEM was performed using a triangular tip knife. Repeated jet injection of saline mixed with indigo carmine was performed whenever the submucosal dissection plane became unclear., Results: The study cohort consisted of nine patients (8 achalasia, 1 Jackhammer esophagus). All procedures were technically feasible and successful without any complications and resulted in the patients' Eckhardt's scores returning to normal. The mean submucosal tunnel length was 13.3 cm and the mean myotomy length was 9.9 cm. The mean procedure time was 127 minutes., Conclusion: The modified POEM technique with use of jet injection of dyed saline is simple and may render POEM easier and more efficient than the standard dissection method., (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)
