In their study published in this issue of Endoscopy, Inoue et al. present an interesting novel method for endoscopic treatment of achalasia [1]. It is the first report in the literature on this specific technique in humans, although the feasibility of the submucosal endoscopic approach and its possible impact on current treatment strategies for achalasia have been previously discussed in an animal study [2].
