| Abstract |
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a minimally invasive yet challenging procedure for achalasia. Additional technological innovations and improvements are important for simplifying the procedure. We report the successful use of a modified POEM procedure, which utilized a "Push and Pull" technique, on a patient with achalasia. Our modifications resulted in a short operation time of only 35 min. No complications arose during or after the procedure, up to a follow-up period of 6 months, and symptoms were significantly and quickly improved. This modified procedure shortens operation time and lowers the difficulty of the operation, while leaving the safety and efficacy uncompromised. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 October 2017.
All research outputs
#15,481,888
of 23,006,268 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Endoscopy
#3,831
of 6,101 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#204,939
of 327,202 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Endoscopy
#84
of 112 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,006,268 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,101 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,202 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 112 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
