Abstract
Many doctors and patients shy away from the surgical intervention of a pyloromyotomy using laparoscopy. The effectiveness of botulinum toxin injections into the pylorus has not been established 1 2. Pharmacological therapeutic approaches are unsatisfactory and show a wide range of side effects 3. G-POEM is a procedure that has proven its feasibility with a low complication rate. A relatively high response could be documented in previous publications 4. The long-term successes are still being discussed controversially 5. After the initial euphoria, the problem of patient selection comes to the fore. The symptoms, as well as the pathophysiology of gastric emptying disorder, are diverse 6. The diagnostic tests available do not reflect the variability of the disease 7 8 9 10. The postoperative gastric emptying disorder seems to be an exception. G-POEM can protect both therapists and patients from another invasive procedure.
