Abstract
Modern functional diagnostics should allow an exact as possible assessment of the structure and function of the esophagus in order to be able to reliably assess the symptoms described by patients, the underlying pathology and if possible also the response to be expected from therapy. This article presents new, very promising techniques and methods of manometric diagnostics as well as the diagnostics of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
