AbstractThe preparatory accommodation response of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) before swallowing is one of the mechanisms involved in LES relaxation during wet swallows, however, the physiological and/or pathological roles of LES accommodation remain to be determined in humans. To address this problem, we conducted a prospective observational study of 38 patients with normal high-resolution manometry (HRM) and 23 patients with idiopathic esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) to assess dry and wet swallows. The LES accommodation measurement was proposed for practical use in evaluating the LES accommodation response. Although swallow-induced LES relaxation was observed in both dry and wet swallows, LES accommodation (6.4, 3.1–11.1 mmHg) was only observed in wet swallows. The extent of LES accommodation was impaired in idiopathic EGJOO (0.6, − 0.6–6 mmHg), and the LES accommodation measurement of patients with idiopathic EGJOO (36.8, 29.5–44.3 mmHg) was significantly higher in comparison to those with normal HRM (23.8, 18–28.6 mmHg). Successful LES relaxation in wet swallowing can be achieved by LES accommodation in combination with swallow-induced LES relaxation. Impaired LES accommodation is characteristic of idiopathic EGJOO. In addition to the IRP value, the LES accommodation measurement may be useful for evaluating the LES relaxation function in clinical practice.

Abstract Background Hiatus Hernia (HH), with its anatomical/physiological derangement of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) barrier function is a risk factor for pathological gastro-esophageal reflux (GER). However, a subset of patients with HH do not have reflux. The aim of this study is to explore Lower Esophageal sphincter parameters and GER across the EGJ in patients with manometeric type C hiatal hernia (LES-Crural Diaphragm separation > 1cm, and Pressure Inversion Point below LES). Methods An IRB approved, prospectively maintained esophageal testing registry was queried to identify patients who underwent High Resolution Manometry and 24h pH study (within 1 week) between 11/01/2016 and 11/01/2017. HRM characteristics of the EGJ (LES-CD separation, overall length, LESP, LESPI), 24 hour pH score, and pH < 4 holding time were extracted. Spearman's Rho correlation was calculated for all parameters and Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied for parameters with significant correlation. Results A total of 1139 patients underwent HRM during the study period, of these 416 also had 24 hour pH study. 76 Patients met criteria for EGJ morphology Type C. After excluding patients with major disorders of peristalsis (16) the remaining 60 patients form the cohort of this study. Hiatal hernia size, overall length of LES, and LESPI did not correlate with 24 hour pH score or pH < 4 holding time. LESP had a significant negative correlation both with 24 hour pH score (R: -0.322; P = 0.011), and total acid holding time (R: -0.348; P = 0.006). A LESP cut-off value of 24.4 mmHg had a sensitivity of 53.8% and a Specificity of 91.2% for predicting pathological reflux. Conclusion A higher LESP (> 24.4 mmHg) appears to provide an effective barrier to pathological GER even when normal EGJ function is compromised by a hiatal hernia.
