Esophageal function testing, i.e. esophageal manometry and 24-h pH monitoring, are usually carried out to diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with atypical symptoms, when there is no evidence of esophagitis at endoscopy, or following previous unsuccessful surgery. Additionally, these studies should be considered mandatory before surgery to confirm the diagnosis and to tailor the procedure to the motility pattern of the individual patient.

Abstract

Esophageal function testing, i.e. esophageal manometry and 24-h pH monitoring, are usually carried out to diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with atypical symptoms, when there is no evidence of esophagitis at endoscopy, or following previous unsuccessful surgery. Additionally, these studies should be considered mandatory before surgery to confirm the diagnosis and to tailor the procedure to the motility pattern of the individual patient.
