Paracelsus Clinic provides specialised Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) with a focus on precise muscle division, advanced therapeutic endoscopy, preservation of surrounding esophageal tissue, and individualized post-treatment care. Established in 1953, the accredited hospital is located in Lustmuhle, Switzerland and operates 95 beds, with modern endoscopy, gastrointestinal imaging, esophageal motility testing, anesthesia, and postoperative monitoring infrastructure.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy can provide an effective minimally invasive treatment option for appropriately selected patients with achalasia. Treatment planning considers the type and severity of achalasia, esophageal dilation, swallowing symptoms, previous treatments, findings from manometry and endoscopy, and overall health. A detailed gastroenterological assessment helps determine whether POEM is appropriate and guides the length and location of the myotomy. Follow-up may include assessment for symptom improvement and monitoring for gastroesophageal reflux after treatment.
