Diagnostic evaluation of achalasia: from the whalebone to the Chicago classification.

World journal of surgery - 1 Jul 2015

Fisichella P Marco, Jalilvand Anahita, Lebenthal Abraham

Abstract excerpt

From the earliest description of dysphagia relieved by dilatation with a whalebone in 1674 we have witnessed the evolution of esophageal function testing from the conventional manometry to the high-resolution manometry (HRM) and esophageal topography pressure plotting that have led to the revised Chicago classification for esophageal motility disorders in 2014. The goals of this paper are, therefore, (1) to...
