title: [24-hour esophageal pH measurement in 52 children with gastroesophageal reflux].
abstract: The authors give an account of their experience with 24-hour pH metry of the oesophagus in children. They made 56 examinations in 52 patients with different clinical complications of gastrooesophageal reflux (GER). The pathological finding during oesophageal pH-metry was in the great majority consistent with the pathological finding during oesophageal manometry. Of 52 children 18 patients were indicated for surgery on account of GER. The authors emphasize the advantages of 24-hour oesophageal pH-metry in particular as an auxiliary method in indications for surgery of gastrooesophageal reflux.
