RESUMO

Zenker's diverticulum develops because of a weakness in Killian's triangle, leading to a mucosal and submucosal herniation. Its treatment has evolved from morbid surgical interventions to safer endoscopic techniques such as peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM). Despite being a safe technique, Z-POEM is not free of complications such as perforations, bleeding, pneumoperitoneum, and pneumothorax, for which new endoscopic techniques have been developed. We present the case of a 53-year-old man taken to a Z-POEM who postoperatively presented dehiscence of the mucosotomy and a mediastinal collection, managed with a vacuum-assisted endoscopic closure device.

RESUMO

Background: There are gaps in our understanding of the epidemiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and severity of AD in adults from countries/regions within Asia, Eurasia, Latin America, Middle East, and Russia. Methods: This international, web-based survey was performed in Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Egypt, Hong Kong, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates. Questionnaires were sent to adult members of online respondent panels for determination of AD and assessment of severity. A diagnosis of AD required respondents to meet the modified United Kingdom (UK) Working Party criteria and to self-report they had a physician diagnosis of AD. Severity of AD was determined using Patient-Oriented Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis (PO-SCORAD), Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), and Patient Global Assessment (PGA). Results: Among respondents by country/region the prevalence of AD ranged from 3.4% in Israel to 33.7% in Thailand. The prevalence was generally higher in females versus males. Severity varied by scale, although regardless of scale the proportion of respondents with mild and moderate disease was higher than severe disease. PGA consistently resulted in the lowest proportion of severe AD (range 2.4% China - 10.8% Turkey) relative to PO-SCORAD (range 13.4% China - 41.6% KSA) and POEM (range 5.1% China - 16.6% Israel). Conclusions: This survey highlights the importance of AD in adults, with high prevalence and high morbidity among respondents and emphasizes that AD is not just a disease of childhood-there is disease persistence and chronicity in adults.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Background: Advanced achalasia cardia (AC) represents the end stage in the natural history of AC. Role of per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in this technically difficult subset is emerging. Methods: Retrospective review of the patients who had undergone POEM for advanced AC with sigmoid esophagus. We assessed the technical success, clinical success and adverse event rate. Pre and post POEM Eckardt score (ES), integrated relaxation pressure-4sec (IRP-4), lower oesophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) and height and width of barium column at 5 minutes were noted. Results: Of the 85 patients who underwent POEM for AC, 10 patients had advanced AC with sigmoid esophagus of which eight were sigmoid and two were advanced sigmoid. The clinical and technical success was 100% with significant reduction of ES, IRP-4, LESP and height and width of barium column at 5 minutes. One patient had a minor adverse event in the form of mucosal injury that was closed with hemoclips. At a median follow up of 17 months there was no recurrence. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates POEM to be a safe and effective modality of treatment in this technically difficult subset of AC with sigmoid morphology.


RESUMO Contexto: Acalasia cárdia avançada representa o estágio final na história natural do megaesôfago. Está emergindo o papel da miotomia endoscópica peroral (POEM) neste subconjunto tecnicamente difícil. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão retrospectiva dos pacientes submetidos a POEM para tratamento do megaesôfago avançado. Avaliamos o sucesso técnico, o sucesso clínico e a taxa de eventos adversos. O escore de Eckardt, pré e pós POEM, a pressão integral de relaxamento de 4 seg (IRP-4), a pressão do esfíncter inferior do esôfago e a altura e largura da coluna de bário em 5 minutos, foram anotadas. Resultados: Dos 85 pacientes submetidos a POEM para acalasia cárdia, 10 pacientes apresentaram acalasia cárdia avançado com esôfago com aspecto sigmoide, dos quais dois eram muito avançados. O sucesso clínico e técnico foi de 100% com redução significativa do escore de Eckardt, do IRP-4, da pressão do esfíncter inferior do esôfago e da altura e largura da coluna bário em 5 minutos. Um paciente teve um pequeno evento adverso na forma de lesão mucosa que foi fechada com hemoclipes. Em um seguimento mediano de 17 meses não houve recorrência. Conclusão: Nosso estudo demonstra que a POEM é uma modalidade segura e eficaz de tratamento neste subconjunto tecnicamente difícil de megaesôfago com morfologia sigmoide.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) demonstrated similar efficacy to surgical myotomy in the management of achalasia. However, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is common after POEM. The aim of this study is to identify factors associated with GERD after POEM. METHOD: After searching electronic databases, randomized trials and observational studies including patients with achalasia or other spastic esophageal disorders, treated by POEM, and providing GERD data were selected. GERD was evaluated by 3 methods: pH monitoring, endoscopic findings, and symptoms. For each method, an analysis was performed comparing the outcomes related to the following independent variables: full-thickness (FT) vs circular myotomy, anterior vs posterior, long myotomy vs short myotomy, naive vs previous treatment failure, previous Heller myotomy (HM) vs non-previous-HM, Type I vs II, Type I vs III, and Type II vs III. RESULTS: 2869 publications were identified, and 25 studies met criteria for inclusion in the qualitative analysis. Of these, 18 were included in the meta-analysis. According to the endoscopic findings, circular and anterior myotomy demonstrated a lower trend of GERD with borderline significance (p = 0.06; p = 0.07, respectively). In the pH monitoring and symptom analyses, circular myotomy, anterior myotomy, treatment naive, and non-HM patients were associated with a lower occurrence of GERD; however, no statistically significant difference was found. When comparing achalasia subtypes, no statistical difference was found in all analyses. CONCLUSION: This systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that a circular anterior approach may limit post-POEM GERD and should be considered in appropriate patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Achalasia is the most common primary motor disorder of the esophagus, but its incidence in pediatric patients is low. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) is the current surgical standard of care treatment. Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has emerged as a safe and effective therapeutic alternative in adult patients. We herein report the outcomes of a cohort of pediatric patients with achalasia treated by POEM at a Chilean medical center. METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on children who underwent POEM for esophageal achalasia. Clinical follow-up was evaluated by recording the Eckardt score, a high-resolution esophageal manometry (HREM) three months after the procedure, and an annual upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. RESULTS: Five patients with esophageal achalasia confirmed by HREM and with a mean age of 11 (5 to 15) years underwent POEM between 2017 and 2019. One patient had a previous LHM. No morbidity or mortality was observed. All patients resolved their dysphagia and no patient required further interventions. Mean Eckardt score reduced from 10 points preoperatively to 1 point postoperatively. Two patients currently have mild esophagitis (confirmed by endoscopy). CONCLUSION: Our results support the previously reported safety and effectiveness of POEM. Longer follow-up and larger cohorts will be important to confirm its role in the treatment of children with esophageal achalasia. TYPE OF STUDY: Treatment study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.

RESUMO

Achalasia is a primary motility disorder of the esophagus, and while there are several treatment options, there is no consensus regarding them. When therapeutic intervention for achalasia fails, a careful evaluation of the cause of the persistent or recurrent symptoms using upper endoscopy, esophageal manometry, and contrast radiologic studies is required to understand the cause of therapy failure and guide plans for subsequent treatment. Options for reintervention are the same as for primary intervention and include pneumatic dilation, botulinum toxin injection, peroral endoscopic myotomy, or redo esophageal myotomy. When reintervention fails or if the esophagus is not amenable to intervention and the disease is considered end-stage, esophagectomy is the last option to manage recurrent achalasia.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Achalasia is characterized by incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and esophageal aperistalsis. The efficacy of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is similar to that of the Heller myotomy, with an apparently greater prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Our aim was to determine the presence of GERD in a post-POEM cohort of Mexican patients with achalasia and follow-up of at least 12 months. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on post-POEM patients with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up, within the time frame of 2012 to 2017. Pregnant patients were excluded. Serial endoscopy, pH study, and GERDQ application were performed. Univariate and bivariate data analyses were carried out and statistical significance was set at a P<0.05. RESULTS: Sixty-eight patients had post-POEM follow-up for 12 months. Of those patients, follow-up continued to 24 months for 58, 36 months for 47, 48 months for 39, and 60 months for 25. Mean patient age was 47.8±14.3 years, 57.3% of the patients were women, 77.9% were treatment-naïve, and 54.4% had type II achalasia. The pH study, endoscopy, and questionnaire were positive in 73, 28, and 18% at 3 months; 48, 35, and 13% at 6 months, and 55, 30, and 15% at 12 months, respectively. Once the proton pump inhibitor was begun, the percentages decreased to 5, 2, and 6% at 24 months; 6, 2, and 8% at 36 months; 4,1, and 6% at 48 months; and 3, 1, and 4% at 60 months, respectively. There was no relation between the efficacy of POEM and the presence or intensity of GERD. There were no secondary complications due to gastroesophageal reflux. CONCLUSIONS: The post-POEM prevalence of GERD was 50% in the short term (12 months), with no evidence of complications at the medium term or long term (60 months). Gastroesophageal reflux was adequately controlled through proton pump inhibitors administration in over 95% of the cases.

RESUMO

Resumen Objetivos: presentar el desarrollo de modelos educativos para el aprendizaje de dos técnicas endoscópicas vigentes, ampliamente difundidas y de gran implicación clínica, con la única intención de permitir la adquisición de destrezas básicas y avanzadas a residentes y gastroenterólogos. Materiales y métodos: se idearon dos modelos sencillos, de muy bajo costo, fácilmente reproducibles y reutilizables, con los cuales se logra ejecutar la totalidad de los procedimientos descritos. Además, permiten al operador integrar el desarrollo de habilidades y la adquisición de los conceptos teóricos mínimos requeridos, sin las presiones generadas por el riesgo existente de complicaciones. Resultados: la tendencia actual a nivel mundial se conduce hacia el desarrollo de modelos de enseñanza que aceleren la curva de aprendizaje, así como de procedimientos altamente exigentes y asociados a complicaciones potencialmente graves. Con estos modelos es posible poner a prueba al endoscopista, mediante una evaluación continua y supervisada. Su implementación en unidades de gastroenterología es sencilla, sin la necesidad de una inversión superlativa o el desplazamiento a otros países. Conclusiones: se trata de un gran aporte al desarrollo científico y educativo de nuestro país, ya que la creación y la implementación de nuevas técnicas endoscópicas y su aprendizaje no deben ser asumidos por los pacientes. En este punto, estamos de acuerdo con los conceptos emitidos por diferentes asociaciones médicas respecto a que los cursos teórico-prácticos de corta duración -y en algunas ocasiones virtuales- no constituyen una formación mínima, requerida para lograr la acreditación.


Abstract Objectives: This article presents the development of educational models for learning two widespread recent endoscopic techniques which have great clinical implications. Its sole intention is to allow acquisition of basic and advanced skills by residents and gastroenterologists. Materials and methods: Two simple, very low cost, easily reproducible and reusable models were devised. Procedures are fully described in ways that allow the operator to integrate the development of skills and acquisition of the minimum theoretical concepts required without the pressures generated by risks of complications. Results: The current global trend is to develop teaching models that accelerate the learning curve for highly demanding procedures that are associated with potentially serious complications. With these models it is possible to test endoscopists through continuous supervised evaluations. Implementation by gastroenterology units can be done easily without the need for large investments or travel to other countries. Conclusions: This is a great contribution to the scientific and educational development of Colombia since neither development of new endoscopic techniques nor the process of learning how to perform them should put patients at risk. We agree with the ideas of numerous medical associations regarding theoretical-practical courses of short duration even though some virtual sessions, "do not constitute the minimum training required needed for accreditation".

RESUMO

The development of achalasia in patients with a prior Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is rare and it often remains unclear whether the esophageal motility disorder is a pre-existing condition in the obese patient or develops de novo after the procedure. The aim of this study was to review the available evidence regarding the management of patients with achalasia after a RYGB. Intra-sphincteric injection of botulinum toxin and pneumatic dilatation can be used to eliminate the functional obstruction at the level of the gastroesophageal junction. However, considering that achalasia patients after RYGB are often young and these treatment modalities have shown worse long-term outcomes, endoscopic or surgical myotomy is preferred. Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a very effective first line of treatment, and as RYGB is an excellent anti-reflux operation per se, post-POEM reflux may not be an issue in these patients. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) is also an effective and safe therapy in achalasia patients with RYGB anatomy, and the gastric remnant can be safely used to perform a fundoplication to cover the myotomy. LHM and POEM are both acceptable primary treatment modalities in this setting. Further studies are needed to elucidate the pathophysiology and optimal management of patients with achalasia after RYGB.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Achalasia is characterized by the absence of lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and esophageal aperistalsis. Diagnosis is confirmed through high-resolution esophageal manometry. Laparoscopic myotomy is the standard treatment, but peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a safe and effective alternative, with good short-term and medium-term results. Our aim was to describe the short-term and medium-term experience with POEM at a tertiary care center. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted within the time frame of November 2014 and February 2017. Treatment-naïve achalasia patients and previously-treated achalasia patients that were candidates for POEM were included. A protocolized 24-month follow-up was carried out. RESULTS: Fifty procedures were included and 31 (68%) were performed on women. Forty-one (82%) of the procedures were carried out on previously untreated patients, 7 (14%) were performed on previously treated patients, and 2 (4%) of the patients had redo-POEM. The mean age of the patients was 48.8±14.1 years. The pre-POEM Eckardt score was 9 and the integrated relaxation pressure was 24.4mmHg. Sixty-eight percent of the patients had type ii achalasia. Procedure time was 80min and myotomy length was 12.6cm. Hospital stay was 3 days and subcutaneous emphysema was the most common adverse event (30%). A total of 22/50 (44%) patients reached the 24-month follow-up, maintaining the Eckardt score and the decrease in the integrated relaxation pressure. There were no deaths. A total of 47.5% of the patients had a positive pH-study at 6 months, 15% had clinical reflux, and 35% presented with mild esophagitis. All the patients were adequately controlled with proton pump inhibitors. CONCLUSION: POEM is safe and effective in the short term and medium term for the treatment of achalasia and other esophageal motor disorders in Mexican patients.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: La acalasia es el trastorno motor primario más frecuente del esófago. Su incidencia reportada es baja, aún más en pacientes pediátricos. La miotomía de Heller laparoscópica corresponde al estándar actual de tratamiento. Durante los últimos años la miotomía endoscópica por vía oral (POEM) se ha posicionado como una alternativa terapéutica segura y tan efectiva como el Heller para la acalasia esofágica. OBJETIVO: Describir la técnica de POEM y reportar el primer caso pediátrico en nuestro país. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 11 años, previamente sano, que se presentó con disfagia ilógica progresiva y baja de peso. El estudio concluyó una acalasia tipo II. Fue sometido a POEM y cursó un postoperatorio sin incidentes. A un año de la intervención se ha documentado resolución de la sintomatología, seguimiento endoscópico y manométrico sin complicaciones. CONCLUSIONES: El caso descrito corresponde al primer POEM en un paciente pediátrico en nuestro país. La acalasia esofágica es infrecuente en pediatría y el POEM ha demostrado éxito clínico y seguridad comparables a la miotomía de Heller laparoscópica en el corto y mediano plazo. El seguimiento a largo plazo permitirá determinar su rol definitivo en el tratamiento de pacientes pediátricos con acalasia esofágica.


INTRODUCTION: Achalasia is the most common primary motor disorder of the esophagus. Its reported incidence is low, even more in pediatric patients. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy is the current stan dard of treatment. During the last years, per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been positioned as a safe and effective therapeutic alternative as the Heller procedure for esophageal achalasia. OBJECTIVE: To describe the POEM technique and report the first pediatric case in our country. CLINICAL CASE: 11-year-old patient, previously healthy, who presented with progressive dysphagia for solids and liquids and weight loss. The study concluded a type II achalasia. The patient underwent a POEM and had a postoperative course without incidents. One year after the intervention, symptomatic, endoscopic and manometric resolution have been documented. CONCLUSIONS: The described case is the first POEM in a pediatric patient in our country. Esophageal achalasia is uncommon in pediatrics and POEM has demonstrated clinical success and safety comparable to laparoscopic Heller myotomy in short and medium term. Long-term follow-up will determine its definitive role in the treatment of pediatric patients with esophageal achalasia.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To report our experience in POEM vs. LHM, with particular focus on myotomy extension. BACKGROUND: POEM has been adopted worldwide as a treatment for achalasia. While resolution of dysphagia is above 90%, postoperative reflux ranges from 10 to 57%. Myotomy length has been a controversial topic. METHODS: Thirty-five cases of POEM were prospectively analyzed and compared retrospectively to the last 35 patients that underwent LHM, from December 2010 to August 2016. Mean follow-up was 10 months (6/32) for POEM and 20 months (6/68) for LHM. All patients with LHM had a myotomy extension ≥3 cm on the gastric side. In POEM cases, extension was defined by direct vision (Hill type II) and never exceeded 2 cm. RESULTS: Follow-up was completed in 100% of patients. Efficacy (ES ≤ 3) was 33/35 (94.2%) for POEM and 32/35 (91.4%) for LHM in a short-term follow-up (p = 1.000) and 31/35 (88.6%) and 27/35 (77.1%), respectively, in a long-term follow-up (p = 1.000), with average ES drop from 9 to 1.2 (p = 0.0001) in POEM vs. 9.2 to 1.3 (p = 0.0001) in LHM. Major Postoperative complications occurred in 1 patient (leak) for LHM and 1 patient (massive capnothorax) in POEM. Hospital stay was shorter for POEM than for LHM (1.3 vs. 2.1, respectively) (p = 0.0001). Symptomatic reflux cases included 7/35 POEM (20%) vs. 6/35 LHM (17.1%) (p = 0.4620). Esophagitis signs in endoscopy appeared in 1/21 POEM (4.7%) vs. 1/22 LHM (4.5%) (p = 1.000). Patients requiring PPI included 8/35 POEM (22.8%) vs. 7/35 LHM (20%) (p = 0.6642). Further treatment (endoscopic dilation) was performed in 10/35 POEM (28.5%) vs. 8/35 LHM (22.8%). CONCLUSIONS: A shorter myotomy on the gastric side in POEM may contribute to an acceptable reflux rate with comparable relief of dysphagia. Although our follow-up for POEM is shorter than for LHM, the trends are promising and warrant future prospective studies to address this topic.

RESUMO

Trata-se de um texto extraído do capítulo 12 do livro Nevrosi e delinquenza, de Arthur H. Williams. Na leitura do mencionado poema, A. H. Williams depara-se com um criminoso, o Velho Marinheiro, e resolve investigar a biografia de Coleridge. Nessa biografia ele encontra vários elementos que o fazem identificar aspectos do Velho Marinheiro em Coleridge. Segundo A. H. Williams, com a criação desse poema, Coleridge teria elaborado ou sublimado sua tendência homicida.


This is a text from chapter twelve of Nevrosi e delinquenza, a book by Arthur H. Williams. When reading Coleridge's poem, A. H. Williams found a criminal, the ancient mariner; he then decides to investigate Coleridge's biography. In it he finds many an element leading him to identify some aspects of the ancient mariner in Coleridge. According to Williams, with the creation of this poem, Coleridge would have elaborated or sublimzed his homicide tendency.

RESUMO

Achalasia and Treatment of esophageal Adenocarcinoma are commonly associated to surgical resection. Newer technologies in interventional endoscopy gave way to a substantial paradigm shift in the management of these conditions. In the case of achalasia, endoscopic myotomy is rapidly displacing Heller's myotomy as the gold standard in many centers. Early stage neoplasia in Barrett's esophagus (BE) comprising high-grade dysplasia (HGD), intramucosal and, in some cases, submucosal carcinoma is now being treated without the need of esophagectomy. This review presents a summary of the most relevant endoscopic techniques for both achalasia and esophageal cancer. Endoscopic advances in diagnostic and therapeutic arenas allow for minimally invasive therapies and organ preservation in most settings of achalasia and early stage neoplasia of the esophagus provided that the clinical setting and physician's expertise are prepared for this approach.

RESUMO

A autora apresenta trechos da primeira parte da Autobiografia de Wilfred Bion, fazendo conexões com outros autores, com o propósito de ilustrar a necessidade de conhecer e, também, de permanecermos numa área de desconhecimento, o segredo. A busca é pela expressividade e não por justificar-se a priori por meio do entendimento da obra. O psicanalista, assim como o poeta, arrisca, e tenta não resolver o conflito. Entretanto, a mente humana oscila sempre, sendo necessária no processo epistemológico de cada um para conhecer/desconhecer.


The author presents excerpts from the first part Wilfred Bion's Autobiography making connections with other authors in order to illustrate the need to know and also to remain in unawareness realm, the secret. The search is for expressiveness and not by justify oneself a priori through the search of understanding.

RESUMO

Miotomia endoscópica por via oral (POEM) foi recentemente descrita em humanos como tratamento para a acalasia. Este conceito tem evoluído a partir de desenvolvimentos na cirurgia endoscópica transluminal por orifícios (NOTES) e com potencial para se tornar uma importante opção terapêutica para o tratamento de megaesôfago. Neste estudo prospectivo descrevemos nossa abordagem com o POEM e a experiência inicial para o tratamento de pacientes com acalasia. Três pacientes com distúrbios da motilidade esofágica foram submetidos ao POEM. Este procedimento endoscópico consiste em uma incisão na mucosa do esôfago, formando um túnel submucoso até cárdia para divisão seletiva das fibras circulares do esfíncter inferior do esôfago (EIE). Essa entrada na mucosa é fechada por clipes hemostáticos endoscópicos. Todos os pacientes tiveram esofagogramas e manometrias esofágicas no pré e pós-operatório para acompanhamento clínico, comparativo, em 3 meses. Todos os três pacientes foram submetidos com sucesso ao tratamento POEM, e a miotomia tinha um comprimento médio de 13 cm. O tempo operatório variou 115-120 minutos. A permanência no hospital foi de 4 dias. Nossa experiência inicial com o procedimento POEM demonstra sua segurança operacional, sendo considerados bons os resultados clínicos iniciais. Embora os dados de avaliação a longo prazo devam ser estudados, o POEM poderia se tornar o tratamento de escolha para acalasia.


Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has recently been described in humans as a treatment for achalasia. This concept has evolved from developments in natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and has the potential to become an important therapeutic option. We describe our approach as well as our initial clinical experience as part of an ongoing study treating achalasia patients with POEM. Three patients with esophageal motility disorders were enrolled in and underwent POEM. This completely endoscopic procedure involved a mid esophageal mucosal incision, a submucosal tunnel onto the gastric cardia, and selective division of the circular and sling fibers at the lower esophageal sphincter. The mucosal entry was closed by conventional hemostatic clips. All patients had postoperative esophagograms before discharge and initial clinical follow-up 3 weeks postoperatively. All (3 of 3) patients successfully underwent POEM treatment. After the procedure, smooth passage of the endoscope through the gastroesophageal junction was observed in all patients. Operative time ranged from 120 to 240 minutes. No leaks were detected in the swallow studies and mean length of stay was 4 days. No clinical complications were observed, and at the initial follow-up, all patients reported dysphagia relief without reflux symptoms. Our initial experience with the POEM procedure demonstrates its operative safety, and early clinical results have shown good results. Although further evaluation and long-term data are mandatory, POEM could become the treatment of choice for symptomatic achalasia.

RESUMO

The esophageal achalasia is an infrequent disease with significant morbidity. Multiple therapeutic alternatives are available with varying results. In 2008, POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy) endoscopic surgery was initiated in Japan (Inoue, Yokohama). Since then, it has been performed with excellent results. Objective: To describe this technique and the performance of POEM surgery based on a clinical case. Methods: The first POEM surgery was performed in Chile, according to the standards described in Inoue’s technique. It was performed by a single operator with previous training. Original devices were used. Prior informed consent was obtained, at Hospital Padre Hurtado in Santiago in January 2014. Results: A 34-year-old female patient, due to significant dysphagia and weight loss, was fully studied and diagnosed of esophageal achalasia type II. POEM surgery was carried out using the technique described by Inoue. The operating time was 150 minutes. No bleeding or intraoperative complications were detected. Upper endoscopic control at 24 h was normal, initiating progressive oral feeding. Discharged at the 4th postoperative day, without problems after a month. Conclusions: POEM surgery is a safe, effective and replicable treatment for esophageal achalasia in a public hospital in Chile.


La acalasia esofágica es una enfermedad infrecuente con morbilidad significativa. Existen múltiples alternativas terapéuticas con diferentes resultados. El año 2008 se inicia en Japón (Inoue, Yokohama) la cirugía endoscópica de POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy) con excelentes resultados. Objetivo: Describir la técnica y realización de la cirugía de POEM en base a un caso clínico. Métodos: Se planifico la realización de la primera cirugía de POEM en Chile, siguiendo los estándares descritos en su técnica. Fue realizada por un solo operador con entrenamiento previo, utilizando accesorios originales, previo consentimiento informado, en el Hospital Padre Hurtado de Santiago, en enero de 2014. Resultados: Se realizó en un paciente femenino de 34 años, previo estudio completo por disfagia y baja de peso significativa, diagnosticándose una acalasia esofágica tipo II. Se realizó una cirugía de POEM, siguiendo la técnica descrita por el Dr. Inoue. El tiempo quirúrgico fue de 150 min. No se presentó sangrado o complicaciones intraoperatorias. Endoscopia digestiva alta control a las 24 h fue normal, iniciando régimen progresivo. Alta al 4° día post operatorio, con favorable evolución al mes post operatorio. Conclusiones: La cirugía de POEM es segura, efectiva y reproducible para el tratamiento de la acalasia esofágica en un Hospital Público en Chile.

RESUMO

A voz do poema aparece nas suas intermitências, presentifica-se como hiato, insurreição, impertinência. O poema é paradigmático do que a litter-ratura (litter rasura) faz acontecer, o risco da letra: o poema solta a língua e fura a linguagem com suas quebras, elipses, piruetas proporcionando melhor acesso a essa voz que vem do longínquo, do além do princípio de prazer. Este trabalho percorre a obra de Maurice Blanchot (1907- 2003), “...romancista e crítico. Sua vida é inteiramente dedicada à literatura e ao silêncio que lhe é próprio”, com o intuito de extrair o que da voz faz poema. A voz, o sopro e suas modulações, suporte e transmite o corpoema que cada um é, por princípio, para começo de qualquer conversa. “Perguntem aos poetas!” sugeria Freud ao concluir a sua conferencia sobre a feminilidade. “ Eu sou poema” lança Lacan, indicando assim o caminho do fim de análise que, por incrível que pareça, se encontra nos meios: mas por isso é preciso topar e sacá-lo dos ditos reduzidos ao “poema que faz o dizer menos besta”.(AU)


The voice of the poem appears in their intermittences, presentified as hiatus, insurrection, impertinence. The poem is paradigmatic of the litter-rature (litter-rature) does happen, the risk of the letter: the poem release lalangue and sticking language, with their language breaks, ellipses, pirouettes providing better access to that voice from the distant, otherworldly the pleasure principle. This paper covers the work of Maurice Blanchot (1907- 2003), “... novelist and critic. Your life is entirely devoted to literature and the silence of its own”, in order to extract the voice that makes poem. The voice, the breath and its modulations, support and transmits the body poem that each one is, on principle, to the beginning of any conversation. “Ask the poets!” Freud suggested finishing his lecture on femininity. “I am poem” launches Lacan, thus indicating the way to the end of analysis that, oddly enough, is the means: but it is necessary to bump and cash it reduced to the sayings “poem that does mean less beast”.(AU)
