Poem also known as Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy is a minimally invasive procedure. It involves making a tiny incision within the oesophageal muscle. It uses a specialised endoscope to treat gastroparesis and adult Hirschsprung’s disease. This incision relaxes the muscle, relieving difficulty swallowing caused by achalasia, a condition that affects the muscles at the lower end of your oesophagus. The procedures take 50-70 minutes to complete with a 100% technical success rate and a 50-80% short-term success rate.
