• _Advanced Minimally Invasive Treatment Cures Rare Esophageal Disorder, Setting New Benchmarks in Gastroenterological Care__
*Kolkata*: A 24-year-old woman, suffering from severe dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), chest pain, and significant weight loss, was successfully treated at Desun Hospital, Kolkata. The patient underwent a series of advanced diagnostic tests, including endoscopy, manometry, and barium X-ray, which confirmed the diagnosis of Achalasia Cardia, a rare and debilitating esophageal motility disorder.
The expert team at Desun Hospital’s state-of-the-art Endoscopy Department performed the Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) procedure, a highly advanced and minimally invasive endoscopic technique that has revolutionized the treatment of this condition. The procedure was successfully carried out under the leadership of *Dr. Abhijit Sarkar, Consultant Gastroenterologist, Desun Hospital*, with remarkable precision and expertise. Following the POEM procedure, the patient showed significant improvement in her symptoms, including the ability to swallow normally. She was discharged in stable condition within just three days, marking a swift and smooth recovery.
*Dr. Abhijit Sarkar*, expressed his satisfaction with the success of the procedure, saying, “Achalasia Cardia is a rare and challenging condition that significantly impacts the patient’s quality of life.
