New technique for controlling bleeding during swallowing tube surgery
This trial tests two different methods to prevent bleeding during a minimally invasive procedure (POEM) that treats swallowing problems caused by achalasia or esophageal motility disorders. The study compares a newer underwater technique with the standard approach to see which works better at managing blood vessels during the procedure.

This study compares two ways of making the surgical cut during a procedure called POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy) to treat swallowing problems like achalasia. It aims to find which method is safer and works better, which may help improve your swallowing and quality of life.
This trial compares two types of electrical tools used during a POEM procedure to treat swallowing problems. It aims to find which tool works better for patients with esophageal motility disorders.
This study compares two ways of performing a procedure called POEM (a type of keyhole surgery through the mouth) to treat type 2 achalasia, a condition where the esophagus fails to relax and makes swallowing difficult. The goal is to see which technique is better at relieving symptoms while minimizing risks.
