Official Title: Feasibility of Endoscopic Pylorotomy in the Treatment of Refractory Gastroparesis, Pilot Study.
Brief Summary:
Gastroparesis is a common chronic condition, disabling the limited therapeutic resources justifying the exploration of new therapeutic possibilities.
By analogy to the technique of Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM), we believe that myotomy pyloric muscle (POP = Per Oral Pyloromyotomy) endoscopically could become a treatment of choice in the refractory gastroparesis with drug treatments by attacking the pyloric obstacle often spastic that counteracts an effective gastric emptying.
