An endoscopic treatment called POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy) is used to treat swallowing difficulties, most often achalasia. Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy, or POEM, is a relatively recent surgery that makes use of endoscopic technology. It might take one to three hours to accomplish this in-patient surgery. The muscles of the lower esophageal sphincter and the esophagus, which make it difficult to swallow and for food to move into the stomach, are typically what cause achalasia and other swallowing difficulties. Heartburn, weight loss, and general negative quality of life are possible additional symptoms in addition to swallowing difficulties. Flexible tubes known as endoscopes can be inserted through the mouth or throat. Without having to make a significant incision elsewhere on the body, they enable doctors to see and study the surfaces of the esophagus (food pipe), stomach, intestine, and colon. An advantage of having an endoscopic surgery, particularly for swallowing issues, is that there are no incisions made in the chest or belly, and the hospital stay following the operation is often very short or even nonexistent.
