There are certain risks associated with cardia laxity poem surgery, such as rupture or perforation of the esophageal mucosa, postoperative gastroesophageal reflux, and anesthesia risks.
1. Rupture or perforation of esophageal mucosa: poem surgery, also known as transoral endoscopic esophageal sphincterotomy. During the operation, it is necessary to cut through the mucosal layer of the esophagus, therefore, postoperative rupture or perforation of the esophageal mucosa may occur.
2. Gastroesophageal reflux: Gastroesophageal reflux is one of the common sequelae of poem surgery, such as poor recovery of the esophageal sphincter and impaired function of the cardia after the surgery, which may lead to the manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux.
3. Anesthesia risk: poem surgery requires anesthesia, during which circulatory, respiratory and central nervous system problems may occur.
If poem surgery for cardia failure is needed, there should be full communication with the doctor in charge to understand the risks of the surgery and timely treatment after comprehensive assessment.
