Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a novel minimally invasive intervention, which has shown to be effective and safe for treating achalasia in adults. Presently, POEM was also reported to be effective for achalasia in children. So we conducted this study to explore the clinical outcomes of POEM for pediatric achalasia. A systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed, which covered the period from January 2009 to June 2020. Selecting studies and collecting data was independently by two reviewers according to predefined criteria. Read the full Clinical outcomes of peroral endoscopic myotomy article for free.

Twenty-two studies were enrolled and the analysis demonstrated that ESD excelled in en bloc and curative rates and overall appeared to have superior efficacy and similar safety profiles. ESD however is significantly more time-consuming than EMR procedures. Lesion size can be used to help guide the choice of a therapeutic approach.
