POEM (Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy) for Achalasia
Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is an advanced, minimally invasive endoscopic procedure used to treat Achalasia, a swallowing disorder in which the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to relax properly. This condition makes it difficult for food and liquids to pass from the esophagus into the stomach, causing symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, chest pain, regurgitation, and weight loss. Dr. Vijay Rampally, Best POEM Doctor in Khammam, performs this advanced procedure using modern endoscopic techniques to provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment.
