Intraoperative esophageal manometry (IEM) may not be necessary for standard Nissen or Heller procedures in reflux and achalasia surgery. However, IEM could be beneficial for complex cases involving motor disorders, scleroderma, or multiple prior operations.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Esophageal Motility Disorders

Context:

  • Intraoperative esophageal manometry (IEM) is a technique used during surgery for gastroesophageal reflux and achalasia.
  • Previous studies suggested IEM is crucial for optimizing sphincter pressure during antireflux procedures.
  • Some research indicates a lack of correlation between intraoperative and postoperative sphincter pressure measurements.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the necessity and utility of intraoperative esophageal manometry (IEM) in the surgical management of gastroesophageal reflux and achalasia.
  • To compare surgical outcomes with and without the use of IEM in standard procedures.

Summary:

  • The authors found no significant difference in outcomes between surgical management of gastroesophageal reflux and achalasia with or without IEM.

  • Intraoperative esophageal manometry (IEM) does not appear essential for standard Nissen or Heller procedures.
  • IEM may be valuable in specific patient groups, including those with esophageal motor disorders, scleroderma, or a history of multiple previous surgeries.

    • Impact:

    • This study suggests a potential de-escalation of intraoperative monitoring for certain esophageal surgeries.
    • Refines the indications for intraoperative esophageal manometry (IEM), potentially streamlining surgical protocols.
    • Highlights the importance of tailored approaches for complex esophageal conditions requiring surgical intervention.
