Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a highly advanced, minimally invasive endoscopic procedure used primarily to treat achalasia and other esophageal motility disorders. Performed entirely through the mouth without external incisions, POEM involves creating a submucosal tunnel and dividing the abnormal esophageal muscle responsible for impaired swallowing. The procedure provides effective symptom relief while preserving the natural anatomy of the esophagus.
POEM is considered one of the most effective treatment options for patients with achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, jackhammer esophagus, and other spastic esophageal motility disorders. By relieving lower esophageal sphincter pressure, the procedure significantly improves swallowing, reduces regurgitation and chest pain, and enhances overall quality of life. Careful patient selection and high-resolution esophageal manometry are essential for optimal outcomes.
POEM offers excellent long-term clinical success with shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, minimal postoperative discomfort, and no external surgical scars. Compared with conventional surgery, this advanced endoscopic technique reduces procedural morbidity while delivering durable symptom control. Performed by experienced therapeutic endoscopists, POEM has become an established treatment for complex esophageal motility disorders worldwide.
