The esophagus has an anatomical pathway behind your windpipe (trachea) and heart.

Esophageal Common Conditions

Gastroesophageal reflux disease

When reflux occurs frequently.

Esophagitis

Iinflammation of the esophagus.

Barrett’s esophagus

Stomach acid irritates the esophagus, causing the lower portion to narrow.

Esophageal ulcer

Erosion in an area of the esophagus.

Esophageal stricture

Narrowing of the esophagus.

Mallory-Weiss tear

Vomiting or retching can cause a tear in the lining of the esophagus.

POEM Surgery: Peroral endoscopic myotomy

POEM Surgery Performed by Dr. Aryaie, is a newer technique for managing achalasia.

It is an endoscopic, in-patient procedure that can take one to three hours to perform.

An endoscope (a slender, tubular, flexible medical device with a light and camera attached) can be passed through the mouth or the rectum.

This then allows the surgeon to examine surfaces of the esophagus, stomach, intestine, and colon, without making large incisions.
