Access personalized Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
Parkside Private Hospital 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 1983, the accredited hospital is situated in London, United Kingdom and has 82 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.
