摘要

This chapter discusses the preoperative assessment of esophageal motility prior to antireflux surgery. The focus is on high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) and impedance planimetry, which are described in detail and their performance is discussed. Finally, the authors describe all the key findings that can be practically applied and are important in determining the indication and the relevant tailoring approach for the hiatus.
