OESOPHAGEAL CONDITIONS

Discover High Resolution Manometry 

Oesophageal manometry is a test used to assess pressure and motor function of the oesophagus (food pipe). In addition, it aids in the evaluation of how well the muscles in the oesophagus work to transport liquids or food from your mouth into your stomach.

Oesophageal Manometry

Oesophageal manometry may be performed to evaluate the causes of gastric reflux, heartburn, difficulty swallowing and functional chest pain. In addition, this test may be used in preoperative evaluation if you are being considered for anti-reflux surgery or to ensure proper placement of pH probes in other diagnostic tests.

The procedure

 

Generally, you will be in a comfortable position for this procedure. Your nose and throat may be numbed with a spray or gel to reduce any discomfort associated with the placement of the small catheter through your nose and into your stomach. During this time, you will be able to breathe, swallow and talk with ease.
