text: It is in essence a hollow muscular tube that is closed at the proximal portion by the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) and by the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) at the bottom.
text: In addition, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) at the bottom of the esophagus ensures that the stomach contents do not travel up into the esophagus.
text: The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) which is a ring of muscles that control the passage of food between the esophagus and stomach are hypertonic meaning that it it remains contracted.
text: The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a package of muscles at the low end of the esophagus, where it connects with the stomach.
text: We’ve discussed the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) previously; however, diagnostic testing on the LES is a very interesting subject, and we appreciate this question.
text: The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) lies at the lower end of the esophagus.
text: This is called achalasia when associated with reduced or no relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
text: This band of muscle is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
