TREATMENT
Advanced Achalasia Cardia Treatment in Hyderabad
Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda provides individualized Achalasia Cardia treatment in Hyderabad based on the severity of symptoms and the patient’s overall condition. The aim of treatment is to reduce pressure at the lower esophageal sphincter, improve swallowing, and restore normal food passage into the stomach.
Lifestyle & Dietary Guidance
Patients are advised to eat slowly, chew food thoroughly, consume soft foods, drink adequate water during meals, and avoid eating immediately before bedtime. These simple changes can help reduce swallowing difficulty and improve daily comfort.
Medical Management
Although medications provide temporary relief in selected patients, they are generally reserved for individuals who are not suitable candidates for endoscopic or surgical treatment.
Endoscopic Balloon Dilatation
Pneumatic balloon dilatation is a non-surgical procedure that gently stretches the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing food to pass more easily into the stomach. It is an effective treatment option for many patients.
POEM (Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy)
POEM is an advanced scar-free endoscopic procedure performed through the mouth. It relieves the tight lower esophageal sphincter by carefully dividing the muscle, providing excellent long-term symptom relief with faster recovery.
Laparoscopic Heller's Myotomy
For suitable patients, Laparoscopic Heller's Myotomy is a highly effective minimally invasive surgery that permanently relieves the tight esophageal muscle. It is often combined with a partial fundoplication to reduce the risk of postoperative acid reflux.
Long-Term Follow-Up
Regular follow-up helps monitor swallowing function, evaluate symptom improvement, and ensure long-term treatment success while reducing the risk of recurrence.
