109 PER ORAL ENDOSCOPIC PYLOROMYOTOMY (POP) IS EFFICIOUS AND SAFE FOR REFRACTORY GASTROPARESIS: THE FIRST PROSPECTIVE STUDY (GASTRO-POP- NCT02779920)

Gastroparesis is a functionnal disorder defined by delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction and cardinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, early satiety). It's prevalence is high around 3% in USA. Treatment of gastroparesis is based on specific diet (frequent small meals with low fat and low fiber) and prokinetics drugs. However these drugs are concerned by a lot of cardiac side effect, and a lot of patients escape because of a tachyphylaxy effect. In case of failure of these treatments, there is no validated therapeutic alternative.
