Abstract
This article aims to explore details of research, evidence, and key concepts intended for nurses and other healthcare clinicians surrounding the paradigm shift in therapeutic endoscopy relating to the third-space endoscopic procedure, peroral endoscopic myotomy. Although many medical publications detail the procedure, there are no specific guidelines for nurses to reference when caring for the patient undergoing peroral endoscopic myotomy. With scant published resources available to direct nurses distinctly in the delivery of exceptional care to patients undergoing peroral endoscopic myotomy, there is an identified need for collated information to be accessible to all nurses providing perioperative teaching and care. As peroral endoscopic myotomy continues to transpire as a mainstream or preferred standard treatment for patients who suffer from achalasia, relevant education remains to be fully understood and assessed in the nursing arena. By examining nursing considerations for patient care, indications, techniques, and advancements regarding this ever-emergent breakthrough, readers will discover guidance in comprehensive care encompassing patients undergoing the peroral endoscopic myotomy procedure.
