Core Tip
Core Tip: The article highlighted the significance of predictive methods in identifying patients at risk of developing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) following per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) surgery. By evaluating novel technologies and refined clinical indicators, clinicians could anticipate the likelihood of postoperative reflux and tailor treatment strategies accordingly. Overall, the core tip of the article served as a comprehensive guide for clinicians involved in the management of patients undergoing POEM procedures. By emphasizing the importance of predictive, preventive, and management strategies, the article aimed to enhance treatment outcomes, reduce complications, and optimize patient care standards in the context of post-POEM GER.
