Los digestive motility disorders affect the normal movement of the oesophagus, stomach or intestine, and can cause symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, a feeling of blockage, chest pain, reflux or very slow digestion. In many cases, they require a much more precise assessment than conventional endoscopy.
At GASTEA, we approach these cases with a highly specialised focus, combining clinical experience, Advanced technology y specific tests which allow you to study not only the anatomy, but also how the digestive system actually works.
Poem
What does it consist of?
The Poem it is a Advanced endoscopic technique indicated for the treatment of some Oesophageal motility disorders, especially the Achalasia. Its aim is to act on the oesophageal muscle that does not relax properly, facilitating the passage of food to the stomach and improving symptoms such as the Dysphagia, the feeling of being stuck or the regurgitation.
The procedure is performed via endoscopy, creating an access point in the wall of the oesophagus to reach the muscular layer and perform a Controlled myotomy. As it does not require conventional surgery, it allows for a less invasive approach in selected patients, always after a specialist assessment and tests confirming the motility disorder.
Why carry out this test at GASTEA?
At our clinic we have a high specialisation in digestive motility disorders, which allows us to assess complex symptoms that are not always explained by conventional tests. We analyse not only the structure, but also the actual functioning of the digestive system.
Furthermore, we use advanced techniques that provide a more accurate diagnosis and allow better guide the treatment. This is especially important in patients with persistent symptoms or cases requiring more expert assessment.
Preguntas frecuentes
It is an advanced endoscopic technique that allows for the treatment of oesophageal motility disorders, such as achalasia, without the need for open surgery.
Yes. In many cases, it allows the problem to be treated in a less invasive way, with a faster recovery.
In most patients, the ability to swallow improves and disease-related symptoms decrease.
As with any procedure, it can have risks, but when performed in specialised centres it is a safe and well-controlled technique.
G-POEM
What does it consist of?
The G-POEM it is a Advanced endoscopic technique used in certain cases of Gastroparesis o delayed gastric emptying. It is aimed at patients who experience very slow digestion, nausea, vomiting, bloating or a feeling of early fullness, especially when these symptoms persist over time and affect their quality of life.
The procedure acts on Pylorus, the exit area of the stomach into the intestine, performing a Controlled myotomy to favour gastric emptying. It is performed endoscopically, without conventional surgery, and requires adequate patient selection to assess whether this technique can improve stomach function and reduce associated symptoms.
Why carry out this test at GASTEA?
And GASTEIZ we have a specialised team in digestive motility disorders and in advanced techniques such as G-POEM. This allows us to perform a accurate valuation of gastric emptying and to appropriately select patients who may benefit from this procedure.
Additionally, we take a comprehensive approach, from the diagnosis until tracking, utilising specific tests, advanced technology and specialised medical criteria to seek maximum safety and efficacy in each case.

It is an advanced endoscopic technique used to treat stomach emptying problems, such as gastroparesis.
Mainly in patients with gastroparesis who present with persistent symptoms and do not improve with conventional treatment.
It can help reduce nausea, vomiting, feelings of fullness, and slow digestion.
Yes, when performed in specialised centres with experience in these types of procedures.
Z-POEM
What does it consist of?
The Z-POEM it is a Minimally invasive endoscopic technique indicated for the treatment of Zenker's diverticulum, a condition that appears at the junction between the pharynx and the oesophagus. This diverticulum can cause Dysphagia, food regurgitation, coughing, bad breath, a feeling of fullness, or choking episodes.
Through this procedure, action is taken on the Partition which favours the accumulation of food in the diverticulum, improving passage into the oesophagus. As it is performed endoscopically, it allows the affected area to be treated without conventional surgery in selected cases, with the aim of reducing symptoms and improving the safety and comfort of swallowing.
Why carry out this test at GASTEA?
We have Experience in advanced endoscopy and in the management of complex oesophageal pathologies like Zenker's diverticulum. This allows us to assess each case precisely and choose the most appropriate technique according to the patient's characteristics.
Furthermore, we approach the process comprehensively, from the initial assessment to post-follow-up, with a specialised focus that seeks offer security, precision and better recovery.

Mainly in patients with Zenker's diverticulum and symptoms such as dysphagia or regurgitation.
Yes, in many cases it allows for less invasive treatment via endoscopy.
In most cases, it improves swallowing and reduces episodes of regurgitation.
Yes, when performed in specialist centres and by teams with experience in advanced endoscopy.
D-POEM
What does it consist of?
The D-POEM it is a Advanced endoscopic technique used to treat certain Symptomatic oesophageal diverticula, different from Zenker's diverticulum. These diverticula can be related to oesophageal motility disorders and cause symptoms such as Feeling of blockage, difficulty swallowing, regurgitation, or choking.
The procedure follows the principles of POEM and allows access to the affected area via endoscopy to treat the muscle layer related to the problem. Your aim is to improve the food passage, to reduce retention and alleviate associated symptoms. It is always indicated following a specialist assessment, when it is considered that the patient may benefit from a less invasive endoscopic approach.
Why carry out this test at GASTEA?
And GASTEIZ We have experience in advanced endoscopy and in the management of complex oesophageal pathologies which require highly specialised techniques. This enables us to assess each case with precision and select the most appropriate approach.
Additionally, we conducted a Comprehensive assessment before and after the procedure, with a focus on safety, technical accuracy and personalised patient monitoring.

Mainly in patients with oesophageal diverticula causing symptoms such as dysphagia or regurgitation.
Yes, in many cases, it allows for a less invasive endoscopic approach.
In most cases, it improves swallowing and reduces associated discomfort.
Yes, when performed in specialist centres and by teams with experience in advanced endoscopy.
