Advanced Endoscopy for Thoracic Surgeons.
Thoracic surgery clinics(2023)
Abstract
The thoracic surgeon, well versed in advanced endoscopy, has an array of therapeutic options for foregut pathologic conditions. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) offers a less-invasive means to treat achalasia, and the authors' preferred approach is described in this article. They also describe variations of POEM, such as G-POEM, Z-POEM, and D-POEM. In addition, endoscopic stenting, endoluminal vacuum therapy, endoscopic internal drainage, and endoscopic suturing/clipping are discussed and can be valuable tools for esophageal leaks and perforations. Endoscopic procedures are advancing rapidly, and thoracic surgeons must maintain at the forefront of these technologies.
