MEDIO-GASTRIC PERORAL ENDOSCOPIC MYOTOMY (MG-POEM) IN THE MANAGEMENT OF POST-SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY (LSG) TWISTS: 4 CASES WITH VIDEO
Medio-gastric twists represent up to 4% of LSG, with challenging management. We propose MG-POEM to treat these patients.
Between June 2020 and 2021, four patients presented with alimentary intolerance dur to medio-gastric twist following LSG, and underwent MG-POEM after validation in obesity multidisciplinary council.
Procedures were performed under CO2 with therapeutic gastroscope and a TriangleTip knife. All were successfully completed with intraoperative complication. One patient had antibiotic for postoperative fever and pain. At 6 months, median GOOSS and quality of life were significantly improved. Esophagogram and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed the disappearance of the twist.
