Clinical and physiological outcomes of peroral endoscopic myotomy in Thailand, with a comparative review of Southeast Asian cohorts
A pooled Thai cohort of 127 patients undergoing peroral endoscopic myotomy in 2014-2024 achieved 89.9% clinical success with improved symptom, relaxation-pressure, and timed-barium measures. Comparison with published Singaporean and Malaysian cohorts totaled 250 patients, but cross-study comparison cannot attribute outcome or reflux differences to treatment technique.
