A Per Oral Esophageal Myotomy (POEM) procedure was undertaken for the diagnosis of Achalasia on a female patient. A full thickness esophagotomy was inadvertently created when performing the mucosotomy and the dissection of the submucosal plane. The full thickness esophagotomy was closed in layers using a combination of an edoscopic suturing device for the muscle layers and resolution clips for the mucosa.
