Oesophageal & Anorectal Manometry

Oesophageal and Anorectal Manometry are specialized diagnostic procedures used to evaluate the functionality of the muscles and nerves in the oesophagus and anorectal regions.

Oesophageal manometry assesses the movement and pressure of the oesophagus, which is crucial for swallowing. It is particularly effective in diagnosing conditions such as achalasia , esophageal spasms , and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) . By measuring the coordination and strength of the esophageal muscles, this procedure provides valuable insights into swallowing disorders and helps guide effective treatment plans.

Anorectal manometry evaluates the strength and function of the rectum and anal sphincters. It is essential for diagnosing conditions like chronic constipation , fecal incontinence , and pelvic floor dysfunction. This test provides critical information about the coordination of muscles during bowel movements, aiding in the development of targeted therapeutic strategies.

Both procedures are minimally invasive and performed using advanced technology to ensure accuracy and patient comfort.
