How to Interpret Conventional Anorectal Manometry
نویسنده
چکیده
Anorectal manometry is the most well established and widely available tool for investigating anorectal function. Anal sphincter tone can be quantified by anorectal manometry. The anorectal sensory response, anorectal reflexes, rectal compliance, and defecatory function are also assessed by anorectal manometry. This report will focus on defining parameters for measurement and interpretation of anorectal manometry tests.

Most of these conditions are invalidating. Moreover, the patients do not benefit from a perfect therapy. Therefore many of them also use alternative therapies, but we still miss data on the use of alternative therapies in anorectal disord...
متن کاملUrodynamic and rectomanometric findings in patients with spinal cord injury.
Patients with spinal cord lesion suffer from complex disorders of bladder and anorectal function. We assessed the value of urodynamics and anorectal manometry as prognostic and diagnostic tools in these patients and evaluated the usefulness of these techniques for the differentiation between complete and incomplete spinal cord lesions. Thirty patients with suprasacral spinal cord injury (six wo...
متن کاملColorectal Perforation After Anorectal Manometry for Low Anterior Resection Syndrome
We experienced 3 cases of manometry-induced colon perforation. A 75-year-old man (case 1) underwent anorectal manometry (ARM) 3 years after radiotherapy for prostate cancer and a laparoscopic intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer. A 70-year-old man (case 2) underwent ARM 3 months after conventional neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and a laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer....
