Esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) is replacing conventional manometry in the clinical evaluation of patients with esophageal symptoms, especially dysphagia. The introduction of HRM gave rise to new objective metrics and recognizable patterns of esophageal motor function, requiring a new classification scheme: the Chicago classification. HRM measurements are more detailed and more easil...

The immediate and long-term results of the surgical treatment hemorrhoids in two patient groups were compared. In main group, original technique lateral ultrasound dissection cutting mode was used, whereas control hemorrhoidectomy using monopolar electrocautery performed. dynamics intensity postoperative pain syndrome analyzed a specialized questionnaire. Pathomorphological changes removed stud...

t The ASGE Technology Committee provides reviews of existing, new, or emerging endoscopic technologies that have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Evidencebased methodology is used, performing a MEDLINE literature search to identify pertinent clinical studies on the topic and a MAUDE (Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health) database search to identify t...

Antroduodenal manometry is one of the methods to evaluate stomach and duodenal motility. This test is a valuable diagnostic tool for gastrointestinal motility disorders especially small intestinal pseudo-obstruction which is difficult to make definite diagnosis by clinical manifestations or radiologic findings. Manometric findings that have no evidence of mechanical obstruction and suggestive o...

For several decades esophageal manometry has been the test of choice to evaluate disorders of esophageal motor function. The recent introduction of high-resolution manometry for the study of esophageal motor function simplified performance of esophageal manometry, and revealed previously unidentified patterns of normal and abnormal esophageal motor function. Presentation of pressure data as col...

BACKGROUND Chronic constipation is one of the most common chronic disease in children. Most of cases are functional, however some has problem of organic myopathic or neuropathic colon. Colonic transit study with oro-anal transit markers is the basic diagnostic tool for colonic dysmotility in clinical practice, colonic manometry is the recommended investigation in the next step. Nevertheless, th...

Background: Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction is diagnosed at manometry and, after cholecystectomy, non-invasively at quantitative choledochoscintigraphy. Patients may benefit from endoscopic sphincterotomy. Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of choledochoscintigraphy compared with manometry in predicting outcome of sphincterotomy in post cholecystectomy patients with sphincte...

AIM To evaluate the use of anorectal manometry to select patients for controlled anal dilatation. METHODOLOGY A prospective study was performed using anorectal manometry on all patients with chronic anal fissure who did not have a good response to conservative treatment. Those with increased anal resting pressure were treated with controlled anal dilatation using a two valved anuscope. A seco...
