Cricopharyngeal myotomy (CPM) is a procedure in which the cricopharyngeus muscle, which makes a “ring” around the upper esophagus, is divided or cut across in order to break its grip. This is done in cases where this cricopharyngeus muscle (i.e., the upper esophageal sphincter) fails to relax when one swallows ( antegrade cricopharyngeal ...

2021年12月11日 · With endoscopic diverticulotomy, the cricopharyngeus muscle is divided when cutting through the wall between the ZD and the esophagus (Figure 3-5). See chapter on Zenker’s Diverticulum. Cricopharyngeal myotomy may also be done …

Cricopharyngeal myotomy surgery is a procedure in which a surgical cut is made to divide the cricopharyngeal muscle for weakening it. It relieves the difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia). The surgery can be done through the open-neck approach or by using the endoscope (a long, flexible tube with a camera and light source at one end).

Endoscopic myotomy offers several advantages over traditional open myotomy, including the avoidance of an incision, no risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve or great vessel injury, and low risk of perforation and fistula. In addition, endoscopic myotomy affords …

2020年1月8日 · Endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy. Other authors have reported on limited patient series that describe individuals who have undergone cricopharyngeal myotomy via an endoscopic technique.

We aim to evaluate the difference between open and endoscopic CP myotomy (CPM). Methods: A retrospective review of all patients undergoing endoscopic and open CPM was undertaken. We recorded demographic, clinical, operative, hospital, and postoperative data for both groups from January 2010-March 2015.

Endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with cricopharyngeus dysphasia. Diagnosis of cricopharyngeus dysfunction is based on anamnesis and videoradiograph findings. In doubtful cases manofluorography and electromyography should be …

2020年6月9日 · Cricopharyngeal peroral endoscopic myotomy (c-POEM) may represent a viable treatment option. Septum between the diverticulum and true esophageal lumen that serves as a target for therapy in Zenker’s diverticulum. The approach to c-POEM is similar to that in the distal esophagus for the treatment of achalasia.

Endoscopic Cricopharyngeal Myotomy This minimally invasive procedure is done through the mouth using an endoscope (a long, flexible tube with a camera and light source at one end). A laser is used to cut the cricopharyngeus muscle, preventing it from contracting during swallowing.

2017年7月1日 · We aimed to evaluate the outcome of endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy for treatment of CP hyperfunction using a cohort of patients undergoing an open myotomy as a control. Our primary outcome measures included operative time, length of hospital stay, complication rate, and symptomatic outcomes.
