Background:

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an effective treatment for achalasia; however, accurately identifying the distal extent of myotomy remains a technical challenge. Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG-IRI) may facilitate the intraoperative visualization of the esophagogastric junction.

Methods:

We evaluated 39 patients who underwent POEM using ICG-IRI. The primary outcome was the success rate of ICG-IRI, defined as a clear endoscopic visualization of fluorescence at the distal myotomy endpoint. The secondary outcomes included technical success, changes in integrated relaxation pressure, and Eckardt scores before and after treatment.

Results:

The technical success rate was 100%, and ICG-IRI was successful in 94.9% of the cases (37/39). The median integrated relaxation pressure decreased from 26.9 to 10.8 mmHg, and the median Eckardt score improved from 5.0 to 1.0 (both p < 0.01). No adverse events were attributed to the ICG-IRI.

Conclusions:

The ICG-IRI method is a reliable visual aid for identifying distal myotomy endpoints during POEM. This technique may enhance the procedural accuracy and improve clinical outcomes.

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy

This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:
