Abstract

The esophagus is a complex muscular tube; its main function is to transport a bolus from the pharynx to the stomach. This can be initiated by deglutition, termed primary peristalsis, or by local distension, such as during gastroesophageal reflux, termed secondary peristalsis. In this chapter, we review the normal physiology of esophageal primary and secondary peristalsis as well as disorders of peristalsis. Developed in the 1990s, high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) advanced motility testing by creating intuitive spatial and temporal representations of esophageal function. We will review the diagnostic and treatment approach of disorders of peristalsis by HRM as well as discuss other adjunctive esophageal testing, including the barium esophagram and the functional luminal imaging probe.
