Abstract

The following presents commentaries on the interest of high-resolution manometry for understanding the anatomy and physiology of the esophagogastric junction; the subtypes of achalasia, as diagnosed by high-resolution manometry; the interest of high-resolution manometry in the evaluation of dysphagia following fundoplication; and the appropriate clinical protocol for high-resolution manometry.
