Abstract
Gastroparesis is a condition with a growing incidence and few effective treatments. In recent years, GPOEM has demonstrated its superiority to other existing treatments. We report here on our experience in which 34 patients underwent GPOEM, with 23 patients assessed for symptoms and quality of life before and after the procedure. We measured an average clinical success rate of 73.92% and an excellent risk profile with only two minor complications. The procedure was very well accepted by patients as all would be willing to undergo it again. Patients for whom GPOEM was successful saw a major improvement in their quality of life, which returned to normal, and, for those suffering from reflux, a significant reduction in their PPI treatment. As for the patients for whom the procedure was not a success, we found that they were at high risk of somatization, so screening questionnaires should be considered pre-intervention to screen these patients and avoid unnecessary procedures.
期刊介绍：
The Journal Acta Gastro-Enterologica Belgica principally publishes peer-reviewed original manuscripts, reviews, letters to editors, book reviews and guidelines in the field of clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, including digestive oncology, digestive pathology, as well as nutrition. Pure animal or in vitro work will not be considered for publication in the Journal. Translational research papers (including sections of animal or in vitro work) are considered by the Journal if they have a clear relationship to or relevance for clinical hepato-gastroenterology (screening, disease mechanisms and/or new therapies). Case reports and clinical images will be accepted if they represent an important contribution to the description, the pathogenesis or the treatment of a specific gastroenterology or liver problem. The language of the Journal is English. Papers from any country will be considered for publication. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal should not have been published previously (in English or any other language), nor should they be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Unsolicited papers are peer-reviewed before it is decided whether they should be accepted, rejected, or returned for revision. Manuscripts that do not meet the presentation criteria (as indicated below) will be returned to the authors. Papers that go too far beyond the scope of the journal will be also returned to the authors by the editorial board generally within 2 weeks. The Journal reserves the right to edit the language of papers accepted for publication for clarity and correctness, and to make formal changes to ensure compliance with AGEB’s style. Authors have the opportunity to review such changes in the proofs.
