title: [Esophageal pH-manometry in the evaluation of pathologic gastroesophageal reflux].
abstract: Combined pressure and pH measurement of distal esophagus is very important for an accurate diagnostic approach and a correct therapeutic course of gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Sixty-eight patients with suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease have been examined by combined pressure and pH-measurement. Collected data confirm the method worth, that allows to study gastro-esophageal reflux and the esophageal motor dysfunction related.
