Abstract:
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.
