Benign esophageal diseases are a heterogenous group of disorders that may
cause diverse symptoms, such as heartburn, regurgitation, and dysphagia.
A motility disorder is often present, either primary such as in achalasia or
secondary such as in gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The treatment of these disorders is based on a thorough work-up that
includes a barium swallow, upper endoscopy, esophageal manometry, and
pH monitoring. The goal is to characterize each disorder precisely, with the
aim of tailoring treatment. The best results are obtained in centers where
a multidisciplinary team composed of radiologists, gastroenterologists, and
surgeons is present and able to offer different treatment options.
The authors of the 13 chapters have been carefully selected as they are
experts in the treatment of these disorders, with many years of experience.
Their recommendations for diagnosis and treatment are both based on
evidence and personal experience.We do hope that our effort will be useful
for both physicians in training as well as practicing gastroenterologists and
surgeons.
