Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The primary outcome is symptom resolution with Eckardt score normalizing to 3/12 with basal LES pressures below 20 mm of mercury and IRP values 15 mm of mercury.

 
This will be assessed at week 4, 12 and 1 year 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1Technical success- This is defined as an adequate length myotomy on the oesophageal and gastric side has been achieved

2Treatment success- Relief from the symptoms of achalasia with the Eckardt score normalizing, IRP and basal LES pressures normalizing on HRM

3Technical failure- Failure to form a sub mucosal tunnel and adequate myotomy

4Procedural duration – Time taken for a short myotomy

5Length of hospital stay for any complications

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) was developed from this technique and features the creation of a submucosal tunnel enabling the LES myotomy to be performed away from the mucosal entry site which is closed at the end of the procedure.

This is an internationally well recognised and established procedure to treat patients with achalasia cardia.
we only seek to modify the procedure which will reduce operative time and complications.

As the patients in type 1 achalasia have no peristalsis and no motility in the oesophagus a longer length myotomy often does not add any extra therapeutic benefit to the patient.

As such there is no difference in the procedure hence the adverse events are comparable in both groups of patients.
