Brief summary
Researchers are reviewing and analyzing surgical and clinical outcomes of subjects who underwent POPE for end-stage achalasia, a sigmoid esophagus, or a redundant conduit that has been used to replace the esophagus. This data will help researchers determine the safety and efficacy of a novel minimally invasive treatment compared to invasive surgery.
Detailed description
Researchers will be collecting electronic medical data for subjects who have already undergone Per-oral Plication of the Esophagus (POPE) procedure. Subject characteristics, radiographic documentation, videos, procedural details, and subject reported outcomes would be collected. This data will be used for review and analysis to answer questions aimed in this study. Data collected from this study will be entered into a database that will be maintained for future research.
