Esophagoscintigraphy allows to reveal functional disorders of the esophagus and inferior esophageal sphincter not only of diseases of the esophagus but also in different gastroenterological pathology and is also useful in detecting early motor disorders of the esophagus. Quantitative characteristics of the functional state of the esophagus and grade of gastroesophageal reflux permit to evaluate the efficacy and predict results of operative treatment.
