POEM is an endoscopic myotomy that creates a submucosal tunnel in the oesophagus to cut selected muscle fibres for achalasia or related motility disorders after manometry has confirmed the diagnosis. Under anaesthesia, a mucosal incision is made, a submucosal tunnel is created and a planned length of circular muscle is cut. The incision is then closed with clips.

Chennai has a broader gastroenterology ecosystem, but this page does not infer that every listed centre performs upper GI endoscopy. Doctor and hospital cards in Chennai resolve only from exact live CMS relationships for Upper GI Endoscopy (Gastroscopy). If that relationship is absent, cards must remain empty; a generic gastroenterology or endoscopy label cannot verify current case acceptance. This is a catalog gap, not a ranking or availability claim. 2 listed gastroenterology specialists currently appear for Chennai, across 1 hospital in the catalog.
A doctor appears only when the GAF catalog records the matching Gastroenterology specialty, location and, where selected, exact procedure relationship. Results are not ranked by outcomes or medical superiority.
This directory uses professional catalog information and exact specialty and procedure relationships. It does not constitute a medical ranking, guarantee availability or replace a case review by a qualified gastroenterologist.
2 gastroenterologists currently carry this procedure mapping in Chennai. That count is directory evidence, not a claim that every listed clinician currently accepts every case.

Chennai International Airport: Several GI campuses have comparatively direct airport access, but heat and travel after bowel prep or sedation still require a planned vehicle and companion. Heat can worsen dehydration after prep, POEM or metabolic endoscopy. Fluid and diet targets must come from the treating team.

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
