Presentation Transcript

  1. Esophageal Manometry San Antonio Gastroenterologist TX The esophagus is the tube that carries food and liquid from the throat to the stomach. Although it seems like a simple organ, the esophagus is not a rigid tube. The wall of the esophagus contains muscle that rhythmically contracts whenever a person swallows. This contraction occurs as a sweeping wave (peristalsis) carrying food down the esophagus. It literally strips the food or liquid from the throat to the stomach. http://www.stoneoakgi.com/esophageal-manometry/

  2. Benefits The primary benefit of the exam is that the physician has clear documentation of the muscle function of the esophagus. With this information, a specific treatment program can be outlined or reassurance provided if the exam is normal. http://www.stoneoakgi.com/esophageal-manometry/
