About
Abraham Mathew is a pioneering interventional gastroenterologist whose work has significantly advanced the field of endoscopic surgery, particularly in the treatment of esophageal disorders. His key research areas include achalasia management, endoscopic myotomy, and minimally invasive gastrointestinal procedures. Mathew is best known for his groundbreaking contributions to transesophageal endoscopic myotomy (TEEM), a novel, incisionless technique for treating achalasia. His landmark 2013 paper, "Transesophageal endoscopic myotomy (TEEM) for the treatment of achalasia: the United States human experience," with 15 citations, documented the first U.S. human cases of this procedure, demonstrating its feasibility and safety. This work helped establish TEEM as a viable alternative to traditional laparoscopic surgery, reducing recovery times and improving patient outcomes. Mathew's research has been instrumental in shaping modern endoscopic practice, and his innovative approach continues to inspire new generations of gastroenterologists and surgeons seeking less invasive solutions for complex gastrointestinal conditions.
