High-resolution manometry (HRM) is a gastrointestinal motility diagnostic system that measures intraluminal pressure activity in the gastrointestinal tract using a series of closely spaced pressure sensors. For a manometry system to be classified as "high-resolution" as opposed to "conventional", the pressure sensors need to be spaced at most 1 ...
Risk factors: Female gender, overweight: Diagnostic method: High resolution manometry (esophageal manometry) Differential diagnosis: Achalasia: Treatment: Pneumatic dilation, Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), botulinum toxin injection: Prognosis: Depends on etiology: Frequency: Unknown
An esophageal motility study (EMS) or esophageal manometry is a test to assess motor function of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), esophageal body and lower esophageal sphincter (LES). [ 1 ] Indications
Anorectal manometry (ARM) is a medical test used to measure pressures in the anus and rectum and to assess their function. [1] [2] The test is performed by inserting a catheter, that contains a probe embedded with pressure sensors, through the anus and into the rectum. [3]
FLIP is recommended to further evaluate suspected esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) where the manometry is normal or borderline. [2] FLIP measurements may be used to guide intraoperative reflux surgery, or to assess the degree of fibrostenotic disease from eosinophilic esophagitis.
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a US system of medical classification used for procedural coding.The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency responsible for maintaining the inpatient procedure code set in the U.S., contracted with 3M Health Information Systems in 1995 to design and then develop a procedure classification system to replace Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.
Interventional oncology (IO) procedures are commonly applied to treat primary or metastatic cancer. IO treatments may be also offered in combination with any of the above oncological therapies in order to augment the therapeutic outcome in more complex or widespread (metastatic) cancer cases.
Cancer and its Management is a medical textbook, first published in 1986 by Blackwell Publishing. It was first authored by Jeffrey S. Tobias , and Robert L. Souhami , who was later replaced by Daniel Hochhauser .
