We thank Mavrogenis et al. [1] for their interest in our publication [2], and their remarks on our published paper. We realize that there are novel techniques continuously being developed for the treatment of complete esophageal obstruction (CEO), including our dissection technique, Per-Oral Endoscopic Tunneling for Restoration of the Esophagus (POETRE) [3] referenced in our paper [2]. We congratulate the authors on their recent description of a successful technique using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for CEO. Unfortunately our manuscript [2] was submitted for publication around the same time that the report from Mavrogenis and colleagues was published online [1] and hence it was not included in our
