Pediatric Esophageal Biomechanics and Remodeling: Integrating Distensibility and Compliance Beyond Luminal Diameter

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 2613-2622, September 2026.
Esophageal distensibility and compliance provide physiologic information beyond luminal diameter alone in pediatric esophageal disease. This review proposes a practical biomechanics‐informed framework integrating FLIP assessment into interpretation of dysphagia, esophageal remodeling, dilation response, and therapeutic decision‐making in children ...
