Endoscopic Treatment
for Achalasia

For patients suffering from achalasia, Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) has emerged as a revolutionary treatment. This procedure is performed entirely through the mouth using a flexible endoscope, requiring no external incisions. By precisely cutting the muscle fibers of the LES that are preventing it from relaxing, we significantly reduce resistance and restore the natural passage of food.

• Incision-Free: No skin cuts, leading to faster recovery and minimal scarring.
• High Precision: Endoscopic visualization allows for highly accurate, personalized treatment of the constricted muscle.
• Rapid Recovery: Most patients experience immediate relief from dysphagia and can return to normal activities within days.

If you have been diagnosed with achalasia or are experiencing chronic difficulty swallowing, we recommend a comprehensive evaluation. This typically includes a high-resolution manometry test to assess esophageal pressure and an endoscopy to examine the esophagus. We will work with you to determine if an endoscopic approach is the best way to manage your symptoms and improve your esophageal function.
