The Role of High-Resolution Manometry Before and Following Antireflux Surgery: The Padova Consensus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the last 2 decades the development of high-resolution manometry (HRM) has changed and revolutionized the diagnostic assessment of patients complain foregut symptoms. The role of HRM before and after antireflux procedure remains unclear, especially in surgical practice, where a clear understanding of esophageal physiology and hiatus anatomy is essential for optimal outcome of antireflux surgery (ARS). Surgeons and gastroenterologists (GIs) agree that assessing patients following antireflux procedures can be challenging. Although endoscopy and barium-swallow can reveal anatomic abnormalities, physiological information on HRM allowing insight into the cause of eventually recurrent symptoms could be key to clinical decision-making.
