Simple mathematical equation to predict distance to gastroesophageal junction through the submucosal tunnel during peroral endoscopic myotomy.

This study attempts to analyze this difference and uses it to devise and validate an equation by which one can estimate the correct distance. The results of our study demonstrate a very strong, highly significant linear relationship between predicted and actual values of X ( r = 0.97, P = 0.000).
