title: Per-Oral Pyloromyotomy (POP): An Emerging Application of Submucosal Tunneling for the Treatment of Refractory Gastroparesis.
abstract: A growing body of literature supports the use of laparoscopic pyloroplasty as a minimally invasive treatment of refractory gastroparesis that has failed conservative measures and for benign gastric outlet obstruction. Endoscopic pyloric dilation, stent placement, and Botox have been described for similar indications, but often with transient or mixed results. Per-oral pyloromyotomy has recently been proposed as an endoscopic alternative to surgical pyloroplasty or pylormyotomy because it is less invasive by its nature and potentially more durable than current endoscopic treatments.
