Introduction Achalasia is a primary motor disorder of the oesophagus characterised by
absence of peristalsis and insufficient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxation. With new …

The functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) measures luminal dimensions using impedance
planimetry, performed most often during sedated upper endoscopy. Mechanical properties …

Achalasia is a primary esophageal motor disorder of unknown etiology characterized by
degeneration of the myenteric plexus, which results in impaired relaxation of the …

The functional luminal imaging probe is a Food and Drug Administration–approved
measurement tool used to measure simultaneous pressure and diameter to guide …

Objective: To compare symptomatic and objective outcomes between HM and POEM.
Background: The surgical gold standard for achalasia is laparoscopic Heller myotomy (HM) …

Laparoscopic surgery has generated a revolution in operative medicine during the past few

Background & Aims The etiologies of esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO)
vary, as do their therapeutic implications. We aimed to identify patients with EGJOO most …

Achalasia is an uncommon esophageal motility disorder in which there is selective loss of
inhibitory neurons resulting in loss of peristalsis and failure of adequate relaxation of the …

Background Manometric criteria to diagnose achalasia are absent peristalsis and
incomplete relaxation of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), determined by an integrated …

Background Pyloric dysfunction has been associated with gastroparesis, particularly
diabetic gastroparesis. Endoscopic functional luminal imaging probe (Endo FLIP) uses 16 …
