Choosing Riyadh Care Hospital for Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) gives patients access to experienced therapeutic endoscopists, advanced high-resolution manometry and endoscopic imaging, specialized anesthesia services, and structured post-procedure monitoring. Established in 1990, the JCI accredited hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has 325 beds and provides specialized treatment for achalasia and related esophageal disorders.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy is generally performed under general anaesthesia using a flexible endoscope passed through the mouth. After creating a small entry point in the esophageal lining, the specialist develops a tunnel beneath the lining and performs a controlled myotomy of the targeted muscle fibers. The entry site is then securely closed with endoscopic clips or another suitable closure method. Patients are monitored afterward for bleeding, infection, mucosal injury, leakage, chest discomfort, or reflux symptoms.
