Zusammenfassung

Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt eine Übersicht über die derzeitigen Möglichkeiten, Funktionsstörungen des gastroösophagealen Sphinkters und gastroösophageale Refluxe zu diagnostizieren und zu quantifizieren. Die gegenwärtigen Kenntnisse über die Pathogenese dieser Störungen, die therapeutischen Konzepte und die Ergebnisse der Behandlungsverfahren werden dargestellt.

Summary

This review deals with the current techniques to evaluate motor disorders of the gastro-oesophageal sphincter giving rise to achalasia and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. The present knowledge of the pathogenesis of these disorders is reviewed together with the rationale and outcome of treatment approaches directed against their symptoms and sequelae.
