Normative high resolution esophageal manometry values in asymptomatic patients with obesity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical bariatric interventions, while highly effective, can be associated with post-operative esophageal symptoms, gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophageal dysmotility. Whether pre-operative physiology impacts this risk is unknown, in part because expected values on esophageal manometry in patients with obesity are not well understood. This study seeks to establish normative values on esophageal high resolution manometry (HRM) and the prevalence of esophageal dysmotility in the asymptomatic patient with obesity.

Methods

This retrospective study included adult patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg m^-2 without esophageal symptoms undergoing preoperative bariatric surgical evaluation, including HRM, at a single tertiary care center between Feb
