  • Endoscopy: Seeing excess bags, food in the excess bag, ulcerative complications or perforation, ...

    • Measuring esophageal pressure: Measuring time and intensity of esophageal contractions and resting time of esophageal spasm.

  • Computerized tomography: In addition to detecting excess bags, it also assesses the correlation between the excess bag and the surrounding components, ulcerative or perforation complications.

    • Esophageal bag's disease treatments

    Select treatment options in patients with esophageal excess bags depending on clinical symptoms and size of excess bags:
