Surgical Clinics of North America, 2015
The diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders has been greatly enhanced with the development of high-resolution esophageal manometry studies and the Chicago Classification. Both hypomotility disorders and hypercontractility disorders of the esophagus have new diagnostic criteria. For the foregut surgeon, new diagnostic criteria for esophageal motility

American family physician, 2021
Since the first surgical techniques for esophageal motility disorders were described in the early twentieth century, the Atlas of knowledge in regarding its varied pathology has grown immensely. Workup is multimodal using a variety of functional imaging and physiologic tools. Medical management, while typically first line, is mostly ineffective.

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2008
Symptoms of chest pain and dysphagia are common in the adult population. Most patients initially undergo an evaluation to exclude anatomic causes (ie, esophagitis, stricture) and cardiovascular disease as the etiology of these symptoms. Patients with persistent symptoms may then be referred for specialized testing of the esophagus, including esophageal

Disease-a-Month, 1988
Esophageal motility disorders consist of a complex array of disturbances in normal esophageal function associated with dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux, and noncardiac chest pain. A thorough knowledge of normal esophageal anatomy and physiology is important to a full understanding of these motility derangements.

Upper Esophageal Motility Disorders
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1989This article begins with a summary of the anatomy and physiology of the upper esophageal region. The appropriate diagnostic tools used in the evaluation of upper esophageal motility disorders are then detailed including cineradiography, manometry, and other modalities.

Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2018
Abstract Esophageal symptoms are most often related to gastroesophageal reflux disease and other mucosal or structural processes in the tubular esophagus. When these have been appropriately ruled out with careful endoscopy, or when motility disorders are suspected based on persistent symptoms or endoscopic findings, esophageal motility testing is ...

Peroral esophageal myotomy for esophageal motility disorders
Minerva Gastroenterology, 2023The concept of third space endoscopy first described in 2007, was adapted and performed in humans in 2010 by Inoue et al. in a group of patients with esophageal achalasia (EA). Since then, esophageal endoscopic myotomy (E-POEM), has been performed in more than 10,000 patients worldwide up to now.

Esophageal motility disorder achalasia
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2013Although not a common disease, the last several years have had exciting breakthroughs in better defining the pathophysiology of achalasia, classifying the disease with high-resolution manometry and potentially exciting new treatments.The introduction of high-resolution manometry with detailed assessment of lower esophageal sphincter function and ...

[Esophageal motility disorders].
Der Radiologe, 2007For the better understanding of esophageal motility, the muscle texture and the distribution of skeletal and smooth muscle fibers in the esophagus are of crucial importance. Esophageal physiology will be shortly mentioned as far as necessary for a comprehensive understanding of peristaltic disturbances.

Oesophageal motility disorders
The Lancet, 1990Oesophageal motility disorders comprise various abnormal manometric patterns which usually present with dysphagia or chest pain. Some, such as achalasia, are diseases with a well defined pathology, characteristic manometric features, and good response to treatments directed at the pathophysiological abnormalities.
