POEM Procedure at Yashoda Hospitals: Expert Treatment for Achalasia and Swallowing Disorders

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure used to treat specific swallowing disorders, such as achalasia. It is performed using a high-definition upper endoscope, a flexible tubular instrument inserted through the mouth to access and treat the inner surfaces of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and colon. POEM is primarily done to relieve symptoms of achalasia and other swallowing difficulties.

Who needs POEM surgery?

POEM surgery is primarily recommended for individuals with achalasia, a swallowing disorder caused by high pressure and motility issues in the lower esophageal sphincter, making swallowing difficult. Achalasia is classified into:

  • Type I (classic achalasia): Minimal contractility in the esophageal body
  • Type II: Sporadic pressure episodes in the esophagus
  • Type III (spastic achalasia): Premature or spastic contractions in the distal esophagus

POEM is especially effective for type III achalasia but also treats conditions like diffuse esophageal spasms and nutcracker/jackhammer esophagus that require surgical correction. It is also recommended for individuals with persistent symptoms after Heller myotomy.

Types of POEM Surgery:

  • Standard POEM: Standard POEM targets the lower esophageal sphincter muscles to ease food passage, typically recommended for classic achalasia, where the muscles fail to relax properly, causing swallowing difficulties.
  • Endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM): This is recommended for treating gastroparesis (a condition where the stomach has delayed emptying). Instead of targeting the lower esophageal sphincter like in POEM, this procedure involves myotomy of the pylorus. The surgical technique for G-POEM is similar to that of POEM.
  • Z-POEM (Zenker’s Diverticulum POEM): This procedure is usually advised for individuals experiencing swallowing difficulties due to the formation of a pouch in the upper esophagus in a condition called Zenker’s diverticulum.
  • E-POEM (Esophageal POEM): This procedure is generally advised for individuals experiencing swallowing difficulty or chest pain due to the abnormal contraction of the esophagus, commonly observed in conditions such as diffuse esophageal spasm.

Make an Informed Decision About Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy:

Depending on the various factors, however, the choice of facility for availing treatment of conditions like achalasia eventually depends on various factors; however, an informed decision must be taken after considering the availability of the required expertise and infrastructure in the preferred facility.
