Esophagogastric junction morphology assessment by high resolution manometry in obese patients candidate to bariatric surgery

Tolone, Salvatore Savarino, Edoardo de Bortoli, Nicola

Introduction: Obesity is a strong independent risk factor of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and hiatal hernia development. Pure restrictive bariatric surgery should not be indicated in case of hiatal hernia and GERD. However it is unclear what is the real incidence of disruption of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) in patients...

High-resolution manometry is superior to endoscopy and radiology in assessing and grading sliding hiatal hernia: A comparison with surgical in vivo evaluation

Tolone, Salvatore Savarino, Edoardo Zaninotto, Giovanni

Background: Hiatal hernia is diagnosed by barium-swallow esophagogram or esophagogastroduodenoscopy, with possible suboptimal results. High-resolution manometry clearly identifies crural diaphragm and lower esophageal sphincter. Objectives: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution manometry in detecting hiatal hernia compared to...
