Techniques in Electromanometry of the Upper Esophageal Sphincter

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1990
The various pull-through techniques used to measure pressure and length of the upper esophageal sphincter have not been studied in depth. Because of the importance of obtaining further information about these techniques, a group of 25 dogs was submitted to upper esophageal sphincter pressure and length measurements by three different pull-through ...

Human upper esophageal sphincter pressure profile

American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 1980
The pressure profile of the upper esophageal sphincter was characterized in nine normal subjects. Directionally oriented intraluminal pressures were recorded, at 0.5-cm intervals over a 6-cm segment that encompassed the sphincter, by a high-fidelity low-compliance recording system.

Upper esophageal sphincter dysfunction: diverticula–globus pharyngeus

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2013
The following discussion of upper esophageal sphincter dysfunction includes commentaries on the role of the cricopharyngeus muscle in reflux disease; the etiology and treatment of Zenker diverticulum; the use of videofluoroscopy in patients with dysphagia, suspicion of aspiration, or globus; the role of pH–impedance monitoring in globus evaluation; and

An update on the physiology of the components of the upper esophageal sphincter

Dysphagia, 1994
The upper esophageal sphincter is composed of both opening and closing muscles. The opening muscles include the thyrohyoideus and the geniohyoideus, and the closing muscles include the cricopharyngeus, thyropharyngeus, and cervical esophagus. The relative contribution of each muscle to the opening and closing of the UES varies with the physiologic ...
