Abstract: With the development of optics and mechanics,endoscopic technologies are not only used as a simple diagnostic method,but also applied in therapy.Since the beginning of the 21st century, minimally invasive medicine has become the development trend. Many novel technologies have appeared, such as endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, and peroral endoscopic myotomy. Esophageal motility disorders are common diseases in clinic,which seriously affect the quality of life. Although esophageal manometry is the golden diagnostic standard,endoscopy also plays an important role in diagnosis.There are many therapeutic methods in achalasia and gastroesophageal reflux diseases with good efficacy,while the therapy in other esophageal motility disorders remains in dispute. According to the domestic and foreign research progressions, we introduce the role of endoscopy in the diagnosis and management of esophageal motility disorders.
