Esophageal manometry is a diagnostic test used to assess the function of the muscles and sphincters of the esophagus. It measures the pressure and coordination of muscle contractions as you swallow.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is commonly used to evaluate digestive and respiratory diseases such as pancreatic cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, bile duct stones, and gallbladder diseases. It provides detailed images of the digestive tract and surrounding organs.
ERCP stands for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography. It is a procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts and pancreas. During ERCP, a flexible tube with a camera is passed through the mouth into the duodenum to visualize the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts.
Endoscopic papillotomy is a procedure used to treat conditions such as gallstones or pancreatic stones by making a small incision in the opening of the bile duct or pancreatic duct to remove obstructions or stones.
