Effect of Esophageal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection on Motility and Symptoms: A Prospective Study

Figure 2

Schedule of symptom scoring, high-resolution manometry (HRM), and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The patients were interviewed to determine the symptom scores (dysphagia score and Eckardt score) and HRM was performed before ESD. Eight weeks after ESD, the artificial ulcer scar was confirmed endoscopically; the interview to determine the symptom scores and HRM were performed on a separate date to avoid any influence from air insufflation and insertion of the endoscope.
