Desun Hospital in Kolkata successfully treated a 24-year-old lady who had acute dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), chest pain, and significant weight loss. Achalasia Cardia, a rare and crippling esophageal motility disorder, was diagnosed after the patient underwent a battery of sophisticated diagnostic procedures, including endoscopy, manometry, and barium X-ray.

The Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) surgery, a highly sophisticated and minimally invasive endoscopic approach that has transformed the treatment of this condition, was carried out by the skilled team at Desun Hospital’s state-of-the-art Endoscopy Department. Under the direction of Dr. Abhijit Sarkar, Consultant Gastroenterologist at Desun Hospital, the treatment was completed successfully and with exceptional skill and accuracy. The patient’s symptoms, particularly her ability to swallow regularly, significantly improved after the POEM operation. Within three days, she was released in stable condition, indicating a quick and easy recovery.

This milestone, which represents Desun Hospital’s first successful POEM treatment, demonstrates the facility’s dedication to providing state-of-the-art medical care. The accomplishment demonstrates Desun Hospital’s ongoing efforts to provide patients in Eastern India with top-notch medical innovations.

“At Desun Hospital, we are committed to advancing medical care through continuous innovation and investment in state-of-the-art infrastructure. Our steadfast dedication to providing patients with cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatments that enhance results and quality of life is demonstrated by the successful completion of our first POEM surgery. This achievement solidifies our standing as the area’s top healthcare provider” said Shaoli Dutta, Director, Desun Hospitals Group.

For patients with Achalasia Cardia, POEM surgery is a revolutionary substitute for conventional surgical techniques, providing a quicker recovery, less discomfort, and superior long-term outcomes. Through the effective implementation of this cutting-edge treatment, Desun Hospital has raised the bar for gastroenterological care.
