Asan Medical Centre is a trusted healthcare provider for Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM), offering advanced endoscopic treatment for esophageal motility disorders supported by experienced gastroenterologists, therapeutic endoscopists, anesthesiologists, radiologists, and multidisciplinary gastrointestinal teams. Established in 1989, the ISO accredited hospital is situated in Seoul, South Korea and has 2700 beds.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy works by selectively dividing the muscles responsible for impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. The procedure is performed entirely through the mouth without external abdominal or chest incisions. By reducing the resistance at the lower end of the esophagus, POEM can facilitate the movement of food and liquids into the stomach and help relieve symptoms such as difficulty swallowing and regurgitation.
