Swallowing Disorders and Esophageal Diseases

Difficulty swallowing, food sticking in the chest, recurrent vomiting, or unexplained weight loss may indicate an underlying esophageal disorder. Conditions managed include achalasia, esophageal strictures, Zenker's diverticulum, motility disorders, and esophageal cancer. Advanced diagnostic testing and minimally invasive endoscopic therapies are available for both benign and complex esophageal diseases.
