Procedure times and other treatment outcomes were compared between patients treated with EG-840TP and GIF-H290T using propensity score matching analysis. In the subgroup analysis, patients were divided into subsets based on myotomy length, morphology, esophageal dilation, and operator skill, and the procedure time was compared between the matched groups.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 154 patients were enrolled in this study, and 39 patients treated using each type of scope were matched. The EG-840TP group tended to have a shorter procedure time than the GIF-H290T group. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of short-term clinical success or perioperative adverse events. In the subgroup analysis, the procedure time of the EG-840TP group was significantly shorter than that of the GIF-H290T group when patients had a straight esophagus (44\u00a0min vs. 54\u00a0min, p\u2009=\u20090.0015) and the operator was a non-expert (49\u00a0min vs. 64\u00a0min, p\u2009=\u20090.031).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>POEM using EG-840TP showed procedure time, clinical success, and adverse events equivalent to those of a conventional therapeutic endoscope.
