Summary

Refractory gastroparesis is a disease characterized by a delayed gastric emptying without a mechanical obstruction. Actual treatments have a limited efficacy and gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is a new treatment that has demonstrated initial promising results in these patients. The investigators aims are to evaluate security and efficacy of this endoscopic treatment in participants with refractory gastroparesis.

Conditions

  • Gastroparesis Postoperative
  • Gastroparesis Due to Diabetes Mellitus
  • Idiopathic Gastric Stasis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

G-POEM

After confirmation of refractory gastroparesis, participants will undergo to gastric POEM. Participants will be admitted to hospital 24hrs before procedure and IV antibiotics will be given and then the procedure will be done. Technique consist of 4 steps: First: a submucosa injection of saline solution with methylene blue at 3-4cms from pylorus. Second: a submucosa incision and tunnel creation up to pyloric area. Third: Myotomy of the circular and longitudinal muscular layers of the pylorus and the antrum. Fourth: closure of the mucosal incision with hemoclips. After procedure they will be kept on surveillance and will be followed-up with clinical, endoscopic and scintigraphic studies up to 1 year after procedure.
