antibiotic prophylaxis, per oral endoscopic myotomy
Brief summary
No recommendation regarding antibiotic prophylaxis and preparation modalities are available for patients with esophageal motor disorders who benefit from Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM). The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis on the POEM's safety. This study was a comparative and multicentric retrospective analysis of a database prospectively maintained. Patients over 18 year's old with esophageal motor disorders confirmed by prior manometry, who underwent POEM were included. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of complications, as classified by Cotton, based on whether or not antibiotic prophylaxis was administered.
