Apollo Hospital Doctors Successfully Treat Achalasia Cardia Patients Using POEM Procedure

Doctors at Apollo Hospital have successfully performed the Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) procedure to treat patients suffering from Achalasia Cardia, a rare esophageal disorder characterized by difficulty swallowing and the inability of the esophagus to move food into the stomach.

Achalasia affects the muscles of the esophagus, leading to significant discomfort and complications if not treated. The POEM procedure is a minimally invasive endoscopic surgery that allows surgeons to cut muscle in the esophagus, thereby improving the patients ability to swallow.

The recent surgeries at Apollo Hospital mark a significant advancement in the treatment of Achalasia in the region. This innovative technique not only reduces recovery time compared to traditional surgical methods but also minimizes complications and enhances the quality of life for patients.

According to hospital sources, the use of the POEM procedure is becoming increasingly common, with a high success rate reported. Physicians emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of Achalasia to prevent further complications, including malnutrition and weight loss.

Apollo Hospital continues to lead the way in integrating advanced medical technology to provide effective treatments, and it advocates for greater awareness regarding esophageal disorders among the public.
