Secondary peristalsis and esophagogastric junction distensibility in symptomatic post-fundoplication patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of esophageal dysmotility among patients with post-fundoplication esophageal symptoms is not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate secondary peristalsis and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) opening biomechanics using functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) panometry in symptomatic post-fundoplication patients.

Methods

Eighty-seven adult patients post-fundoplication who completed FLIP for symptomatic esophageal evaluation were included. Secondary peristaltic contractile response (CR) patterns and EGJ opening metrics (EGJ distensibility index (EGJ-DI) and maximum EGJ diameter) were evaluated on FLIP panometry and analyzed against high-resolution manometry (HRM), patient-reported outcomes, and fundoplication condition seen on esophagram and/or endo
