Yashoda Hospitals Successfully Performs POEM Procedure on a 26-Year-Old Patient with AchalasiaCard

HYDERABAD, India - Aug. 29, 2024 - PRLog -- Yashoda Hospitals, Hitec City, Hyderabad, has successfully performed a Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) procedure on Mrs. Guru Lakshmi Vundela, a 26-year-old patient from Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh. The patient was diagnosed with Type II Achalasia Cardia, a rare disorder that makes swallowing difficult due to the esophagus's inability to move food toward the stomach.

Mrs. Vundela had been experiencing dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) for over a year. After thorough evaluation, including an upper gastrointestinal (https://www.yashodahospitals.com/specialities/medical-gastroenterology-hospital-hyderabad/team-medical-gastroenterology-doctors/) endoscopy (UGIE) and esophageal manometry, she was diagnosed with Achalasia Cardia and was admitted to Yashoda Hospitals for further treatment.

The POEM procedure was successfully performed, although a small rent in the mucosal area was identified post-procedure, which was promptly managed. Mrs. Vundela has recovered well and is now ready to be discharged in stable condition.

Quote from Dr. Sarathchandra Gorantla, Consultant Gastroenterologist, Hepatologist & Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopist: "Achalasia Cardia is a challenging condition, but with advanced procedures like POEM, we can offer patients a minimally invasive solution that significantly improves their quality of life. Mrs. Guru Lakshmi Vundela responded well to the procedure, and we are pleased with her recovery. We encourage her to adhere to the follow-up care plan to ensure continued improvement."

Mrs. Vundela has been advised to continue her medication regimen and return for a follow-up review after five days with repeat blood tests, including CBC, CRP, RFT, and a chest X-ray. In case of any emergency, she has been instructed to visit the hospital's emergency room immediately.
