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 technology, data acquisition, and analysis affect results and clinical interpretation. ...

This systematic review aimed to (1) synthesize and evaluate the existing data regarding anorectal manometry results in children following anorectal malformation repair, and (2) evaluate the manometry protocols utilized, including equipment, assessment approach, and interpretation. We reviewed four databases...
Results: A total of 280 were included, and all patients underwent CM (229 FC and 51 FCI) and 219 ARM. We found no difference in CM interpretation and presence of normal high amplitude propagating contractions (HAPCs) between groups; however, patients with FCI had higher frequency and ...
Due to the young age of many children, they are unable to complete anorectal manometry, resulting in a lack of objective examination results for anorectal function assessment. In summary, having intermediate or high-type ARM and having other associated malformations are risk factors for the co-...
