Excerpt

Limited physiologic evidence exists to guide the optimal distal extent of the gastric myotomy in the surgical treatment of achalasia [1]. The functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) [2] is a novel physiologic tool that uses impedance planimetry to measure esophagogastric junction (EGJ) distensibility [3] (defined as the cross-sectional area at the EGJ over the intra-balloon pressure). Here, the intra-operative use of FLIP is demonstrated during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM). …
