An esophageal manometry is a test performed to diagnose swallowing disorders by measuring the contractile ability of the muscles in the esophagus.
Feeding Tube Insertion (PEG)
A feeding tube insertion is a tube that supplies nutrition, medications, and liquids directly into the stomach, bypassing the mouth and esophagus.
FibroScan®
