Measuring Normal Esophageal Flexibility in Children Using EndoFLIP

Brief Summary

This study will measure normal esophageal flexibility (distensibility) in children using the Endoluminal Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (EndoFLIP). Children who are already undergoing anesthesia for clinically indicated colonoscopy with colonic motility catheter placement and who have no history or symptoms of esophageal disease will undergo a brief EndoFLIP measurement lasting approximately 3-5 minutes before their scheduled procedure. The information collected will help establish preliminary normal pediatric reference values for esophageal distensibility, which may improve the evaluation of children with esophageal disorders in the future.
