In Monica entered a man with serious difficulties in swallowing. For years he could not eat solid food, then soft and even semi-liquid. That made me lose a lot of weight.

Doctors performed surgery under general anesthesia without incisions on the neck. Through the oral cavity, a flexible endoscope formed a tunnel in the submucosal layer, dissected the interfering muscle and sealed the tunnel. This restored the normal passage of food.
The intervention was successful. The next day the patient could drink the liquid, two days later he was discharged. Full recovery of swallowing took less than a month. The man is feeling well now.
