Fundoplication Improves Disordered Esophageal Motility

Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2003
Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and disordered esophageal motility are at risk for postoperative dysphagia, and are often treated with partial (270-degree) fundoplication as a strategy to minimize postoperative swallowing difficulties.

Diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders

Postgraduate Medicine, 1990
Esophageal motility disorders are now known to be a heterogeneous group of conditions that commonly cause dysphagia and chest pain. Motor dysphagia is usually provoked by solids and liquids (in contrast to mechanical dysphagia, which is usually provoked by solids only). Chest pain with these disorders is nonspecific and can mimic angina pectoris.

Der Internist, 2016
Esophageal motility disorders are a group of diseases that result in swallowing dysfunction due to changes in neuromuscular structures, which coordinate esophageal function. Besides achalasia, which is the best defined functional disturbance of the esophagus, there are other motility disorders, namely hypercontractile (diffuse esophageal spasm ...

Minerva gastroenterologica e dietologica, 2006
Esophageal motility abnormalities are usually diagnosed when esophageal manometry is performed in patients with unexplained non-cardiac chest pain, non obstructive dysphagia or as a part of the preoperative evaluation for surgery of gastroesophageal reflux. Classification of these abnormalities has been a subject of controversy.

Disorders of esophageal motility.

Surgery, gynecology & obstetrics, 1991
Patients with esophageal motility disorders usually have dysphagia and many also have chest pain similar to angina. The diagnosis is suggested by the clinical presentation, and supporting evidence is often provided by contrast roentgenography. Esophageal manometry is usually necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
