The primary causes for these diseases may be attributed to the affluent and the rushed lifestyle, which are becoming more common in today’s world. OGS (Oman Gastrointestinal Society), the first of its kind in this region, is a non-profit organisation that visions to gather doctors, nurses, specialists, medical professors and students. These specialists from varying backgrounds will be educated on the most accurate and up-to-date scientific information of digestive health and the etiology, symptomatology and treatment of gastroenterological disorders. With the participation of varying kinds of specialists, brainstorming on key areas in this field will prompt a broader perspective and approach to these diseases. Hence, this initiative will encourage the best possible treatments for patients, who undergo immense pain and psychological stress associated with these diseases.

To name a few, injury to tissues/organs, serious bleeding, infection and internal scarring, associated with incisions to the outer gastrointestinal tract, can possibly exacerbate to life threatening complications or prolonged hospitalization. Therefore, P.O.E.M will relieve the patient of the trauma and longer recovery from surgery. The promising nature of this procedure will definitely convince the medical fraternity to adopt this form of treatment. Conference Themes The daylong conference, apart from the informative sessions, will also feature a live telecast of P.O.E.M. performed by two leading specialists Dr. Nageshwar Reddy & DR. AMOL BAPAYE and supported by Dr. Mohan Ramchandani & Dr. Santosh Darisetty from India on five achalasia patients at the Royal Hospital operations theatre; the basic purpose being to enlighten the audience on the use of the latest medical technology available for this procedure.
