Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat achalasia, a condition that causes difficulty in swallowing. POEM involves using an endoscope to access and treat the muscle bands (sphincters) at the lower esophagus. This treatment helps improve muscle relaxation, enabling easier passage of food into the stomach.
