Third-space endoscopy is technically challenging and time consuming. Third-space procedures are associated with a significant risk of bleeding, both during and after the procedure (Fig. 1A). There are limited data and guidelines available on how to manage bleeding during per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and other forms of third-space endoscopy. The aim of this video is to demonstrate options for bleeding prophylaxis and Figure 1. A, Bleeding during third-space endoscopy. B, C, Coagulation with an endoscopic submucosal dissection knife.
