At Pushpawati Singhania Research Institute, Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is performed using specialized therapeutic endoscopy techniques and comprehensive esophageal assessment. Established in 1996, this NABH, NABL accredited hospital in Delhi, India has 201 beds and offers advanced gastroenterology, endoscopy, and minimally invasive treatment services.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy may be considered for appropriately selected patients with achalasia and certain other esophageal motility disorders. Before treatment, investigations such as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, high-resolution esophageal manometry, and contrast imaging may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and characterize the disorder. During POEM, the endoscopist creates a submucosal tunnel and cuts the targeted esophageal and lower esophageal sphincter muscles to reduce resistance to swallowing.
