Gastroesophageal reflux symptoms do not correlate with objective pH testing after peroral endoscopic myotomy
2016
Introduction
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an emerging treatment for esophageal achalasia. Postoperative reflux has been found in a significant number of patients, but it is unknown whether subjective reports of reflux correlate with objective pH testing. The purpose of this study was to compare the objective rate of reflux with standardized reflux symptom scales after POEM. Our hypothesis was that subjective symptoms would not correlate with objective measurement of reflux.
