Overview

The mainstay of treatment for DES is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with manometrically proven, symptomatic and those cases no responding to medical therapy

Indications

• Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of DES. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with manometrically proven, symptomatic and those cases no responding to medical therapy.

Surgery

• POEM (per-oral endoscopic myotomy) and ballon dilatation are the commonly followed surgical technique
• The cumulative clinical success of POEM in all SEDs(spastic esophageal disorders) was 87% based on eight observational studies involving 179 patients.
