Brief Summary: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has recently been introduced as promising alternative to laparoscopic Heller myotomy for patients with idiopathic achalasia. Several technical modifications have been proposed but have not yet been tested in randomized trials.
Detailed Description: Objective: To evaluate efficacy and safety of water-jet assisted POEM (WJ) versus the conventional technique (C).

Interventions: Patients with achalasia diagnosed by symptoms, endoscopy and barium swallow eligible for POEM were randomized to either the use of Erbe Hybrid knife (WJ group) or the conventional technique using injection and triangle tip knife interchangeably (C group).

Main outcome measurements: Procedure time in both groups; secondary outcomes were clinical efficacy and safety (bleeding complications, pneumothorax or pleural effusion requiring intervention)
