| Abstract;The most accurate method for diagnosing Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease (LPRD) is to demonstrate a possible gastric acid regurgitation up to the hypopharynx or upper esophagus with a pH monitor. However, a standard method and values for diagnosing LPRD have not yet been established. At our institution, a pH sensor is inserted through the nasal route under endoscopic observation, and a probe is inserted into the cervical esophagus (2 cm below the tip of the piriform sinus during phonation). This procedure can be performed easily for outpatients, thus minimizing treatment time. (author abst.) |
