What is POEM Procedure?

Peroral endoscopic myotomy, commonly called the POEM procedure, is used to treat achalasia and swallowing disorders. Achalasia is a condition that affects the esophagus, making it difficult to swallow. POEM is an in-patient procedure that uses an endoscope to cut muscles in the esophagus, a myotomy, through the mouth. It takes one to three hours to complete and is less invasive than other alternatives, as no incision is made through the skin. This procedure is regarded as an advanced endoscopy for achalasia.

POEM for achalasia cardia is an effective option for patients who are willing to opt for minimally invasive treatment.

Procedure Name Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM)
Type of Surgery Minimally invasive
Type of Anesthesia General Anesthesia
Procedure Duration 1-3 hours
Recovery Duration Few days to few weeks

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM): Pre-Op & Post-Op Care

Preparation:  Preparation involves a medical history evaluation, physical examination, imaging assessments, and discussion of procedure details. Prior to the procedure, patients are advised to adhere to a liquid diet for at least 48 hours to facilitate a smooth procedure in the esophagus and stomach.

During the procedure: During POEM, an endoscope is inserted through the mouth and guided into the esophagus. A small cut is made in the mucosa, and the endoscope is guided through the submucosa into the lower esophagus. Incisions are made in the lower esophagus and upper stomach muscles to relax and facilitate food passage.

After the procedure: After a procedure, one may typically stay in the hospital overnight, be prescribed pain medication, and return home the next day.

POEM surgery recovery: In some cases, it is a single-day procedure, whereas in a few cases, it requires one-day hospitalization. The patients who underwent achalasia surgery will be able to engage in daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks.

Post-procedure care: Initially, a strict liquid diet is used to heal the esophagus, gradually transitioning to a soft food diet. Schedule regular doctor appointments to track your progress and address any issues you may have.

FAQ's

After Heller myotomy, patients typically transition from a liquid or soft diet to solid foods gradually. It’s advised to avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods initially to prevent discomfort. Small, frequent meals are often recommended to aid digestion.

The duration of Heller myotomy surgery typically ranges from two to four hours. However, the actual time may vary based on individual factors and any complications encountered during the procedure.

Heller myotomy is performed to address achalasia, a condition where the lower esophageal sphincter fails to relax properly, causing difficulty swallowing and other symptoms. The surgery involves weakening or cutting the muscles of the LES to facilitate the passage of food into the stomach.

The surgical procedure generally takes about two to four hours to complete, but this can vary depending on the specific circumstances of each case and any unexpected developments during surgery.

Heller myotomy is considered safe when performed by skilled surgeons in appropriate medical settings. While there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia, serious complications are rare. Patients need to discuss the risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.
