Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM)
What is POEM?
Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a revolutionary, minimally invasive endoscopic procedure designed to treat esophageal motility disorders, particularly Achalasia Cardia. Achalasia is a condition in which the esophagus loses its ability to push food into the stomach due to impaired muscle relaxation at the lower esophageal sphincter.
POEM offers patients relief from debilitating symptoms like difficulty swallowing, regurgitation, and chest pain, with a faster recovery time compared to traditional surgical methods.
