Abstract

Basic investigation on the intraluminal pressure of the esophagus and its clinical applications are carried out, and also cinefluoroscopy of the esophagus and pH. changes of content of the esophagus are investigated.1) Method: The intraluminal pressure is measured by means of Opentip Method and a) the resting pressures, b) pressures during primary and secondary peristalsis are recorded.Investigations on c) the intraluminal temperature, d) pH., e) E. M. G. f) pneumography are also employed.2) Results: The patterns of the pressure curve during deglutition in different parts on the lumen of the esophagus are obtained. There are many characteristics of the patterns of the curve in various pathological states such as achalasia, diffuse spasm or cancer of the esophagus.3) Conclusion: Measurement of the intraluminal pressure of the esophagus is as valuable method as roentgenology and esophagoscopy for observation of the dynamic action of the esophagus and for diagnosis of diseases of the esophagus.
