In a short period of time, all the blockages in her food pipe were removed using endoscopy through the POEM procedure, he explained.
With the successful conduct of the operation, the patient started consuming food from the very next day, the doctor informed, while adding that her diagnosis was made possible through the Oesophageal Manometry machine, which ILDS has installed for the first time in the northeast region.
