Our results for both LHM and POEM emphasize the importance of long-term follow-up in patients with an esophageal motility disorder. We have found that patients undergoing LHM are more likely to have a post-operative intervention as well as a higher rate of repeat myotomy than POEM. With both interventions, a greater change in Eckardt score decreased the likelihood of reintervention.
