Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

To treat the patient with Achalasia and prevent the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux the Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy with Simultaneous Endoscopic Fundoplication was done by the current authors. After performing a myotomy the endoloop was fixated to the stomach and was attached to the muscle of the esophagus by using the endoclips. The endoloop was tightened therefore shaping the cuff. This operation has been technically feasible and no immediate or delayed complications occurred.
