The aim of this study was to add to the limited body of literature evaluating the safety and efficacy of ZPOEM. A prospectively maintained database was retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who underwent ZPOEM at two separate institutions between January 2020 and January 2022.\u2003Demographics, preoperative and postoperative clinical data, intraoperative data, adverse events, and length of stay were analyzed. A total of 40 patients (mean age 72.5\u00a0years, 62.5% male) were included. Average operative time was 54.7\u00a0minutes and average length of stay was 1.1\u00a0days. There were three adverse events, and only one was related to the technical aspects of the procedure. Patients showed improvement in the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) scores at 1\u00a0month (5 vs 7, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.0001). The median FOIS scores remained 7 at both 6 and 12\u00a0months, although this improvement was not statistically significant at these time intervals (p\u2009=\u20090.46 and 0.37, respectively). Median dysphagia scores were decreased at 1 (2.5 vs 0, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.0001), 6 (2.5 vs 0, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.0001), and 12\u00a0months (2.5 vs 0, p\u2009=\u20090.016). The number of patients reporting \u22651 symptom was also decreased at 1 (40 vs 9, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.0001) and 6\u00a0months (40 vs 1, p\u2009=\u20090.041). Although the number of patients reporting \u22651 symptom remained consistent at 12\u00a0months, this was not statistically significant (40 vs 1, p\u2009=\u20090.13).\u2003ZPOEM is a safe and highly
