Gastrointestinal manometry

Gastrointestinal manometry

Gastrointestinal manometry is a diagnostic procedure to detect pressure within specific areas of the gastrointestinal tract. It is carried out using special catheters connected to pressure transducers. The catheters are inserted through the nasogastric tract (oesophageal manometry) or through the rectum (anorectal manometry) to reach the tract to be examined..

High-resolution gastrointestinal manometry allows the recording of intestinal pressures generated by the smooth muscles that are an integral part of the wall of the digestive tract. Manometry allows recording both contractions and their propagation
