About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of gastroparesis.

Read the detailed description

After being informed about the data collected, all the patients affected with gastroparesis undergoing Gastric Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (GPOEM) will be included in the observational protocol.

Data concerning pre-operative symptoms and results of the imaging studies will be recorded together with operative time and operative complications.

Patients will undergo periodical clinical consults and gastric emptying scintigraphy to assess the improvement in the symptoms and gastric motility.
