Who needs POEM surgery?

POEM surgery is primarily recommended for individuals with achalasia, a swallowing disorder caused by high pressure and motility issues in the lower esophageal sphincter, making swallowing difficult. Achalasia is classified into:

• Type I (classic achalasia): Minimal contractility in the esophageal body
• Type II: Sporadic pressure episodes in the esophagus
• Type III (spastic achalasia): Premature or spastic contractions in the distal esophagus

POEM is especially effective for type III achalasia but also treats conditions like diffuse esophageal spasms and nutcracker/jackhammer esophagus that require surgical correction. It is also recommended for individuals with persistent symptoms after Heller myotomy.

POEM Surgery can significantly improve your quality of life when non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief. At Yashoda Hospitals, our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to achieve the best results and faster recovery.

Factors Affecting the Cost of POEM Surgery:

• Type of Hospital
• Expertise of the Surgeon.
• Duration of hospital stay.
• Type of Surgery.
• Existing illness & its treatment.
• Treatment of complications, if any occurred.

Types of POEM Surgery:

• Standard POEM: Standard POEM targets the lower esophageal sphincter muscles to ease food passage, typically recommended for classic achalasia, where the muscles fail to relax properly, causing swallowing difficulties.
• Endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM): This is recommended for treating gastroparesis (a condition where the stomach has delayed emptying). Instead of targeting the lower esophageal sphincter like in POEM, this procedure involves myotomy of the pylorus. The surgical technique for G-POEM is similar to that of POEM.
• Z-POEM (Zenker’s Diverticulum POEM): This procedure is usually advised for individuals experiencing swallowing difficulties due to the formation of a pouch in the upper esophagus in a condition called Zenker’s diverticulum.
• E-POEM (Esophageal POEM): This procedure is generally advised for individuals experiencing swallowing difficulty or chest pain due to the abnormal contraction of the esophagus, commonly observed in conditions such as diffuse esophageal spasm.
