About
Ron Schey is a leading clinician-scientist in neurogastroenterology and motility, with a focused expertise in pelvic floor disorders and esophageal function. His work bridges the gap between structural and functional gastrointestinal diseases, particularly those affecting defecation. In his highly cited 2012 paper (68 citations), Schey provided a comprehensive framework for diagnosing and managing pelvic floor disorders such as rectocele and dyssynergic defecation, emphasizing the critical role of meticulous history, digital rectal examination, and advanced physiological testing like anorectal manometry. This work has become a cornerstone for clinicians navigating these complex conditions. Schey also advanced the surgical management of GERD in patients with severe esophageal hypomotility, demonstrating that minimally invasive fundoplication is both safe and effective in this high-risk group—a finding that challenged prior assumptions and expanded treatment options. With a career marked by impactful contributions to motility disorders, Schey’s research continues to shape clinical guidelines and improve patient outcomes, making him a respected authority in the field.
