Methods of anorectal manometry vary widely in clinical practice: Results from an international survey
(Wiley, 2017-01-18)
Background:
Ano‐rectal manometry (ARM) is the most commonly performed investigation for assessment of anorectal dysfunction. Its use is supported by expert consensus documents and international guidelines. Variation in ...
High-resolution Anorectal Manometry Measures Are More Accurate Than Conventional Measures in Detecting Anal Hypocontractility in Women With Fecal Incontinence.
(Elsevier, 2018-06-30)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Anorectal manometry is a common test of anal tone and contractility. However, existing measures are often criticized for their poor ability to detect functional differences between individuals with ...
Functional anal canal length measurement using high-resolution anorectal manometry to investigate anal sphincter dysfunction in patients with fecal incontinence or constipation.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019-01-13)
BACKGROUND:
Using high-resolution anorectal manometry, we aimed to evaluate the: (a) optimal threshold to measure functional anal canal length (FACL) with intra- and inter-observer variability; (b) relationship between ...
Redundancy in the International Anorectal Physiology Working Group Manometry Protocol: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study in Fecal Incontinence.
(Springer, 2021-05-03)
BACKGROUND: Anorectal manometry (ARM) is essential for identifying sphincteric dysfunction. The International Anorectal Physiology Working Group (IAPWG) protocol and London Classification provide a standardized format for ...
Systematic evaluation of cough-anorectal pressure responses in health and in fecal incontinence: A high-resolution anorectal manometry study.
(Wiley, 2020-11-04)
BACKGROUND: Anorectal manometry is the most commonly performed test of anorectal function. The cough-anorectal response is frequently assessed as part of a routine manometric investigation but has not previously been the ...
The London Classification: Improving Characterization and Classification of Anorectal Function with Anorectal Manometry.
(2020-09-15)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Objective measurement of anorectal sensorimotor function is a requisite component in the clinical evaluation of patients with intractable symptoms of anorectal dysfunction. Regrettably, the utility of ...
