[Value of manometry].

Manometry of the esophagus is essential in the diagnostic workup of patients with motility disorders of the esophagus. Before manometry organic diseases causing the symptoms should be excluded by a esophago-gastroscopy and/or a barium swallow meal. Indications for manometry are noncardiac chest pain, dysphagia of unknown origin, primary or secondary motility disorders of the esophagus and preoperative assessment before antireflux surgery.
