[Functional state of the recto-anal segment in normal conditions and in various diseases in children]
Insights
This study assessed anorectal function in constipation and incontinence, revealing key insights into disease mechanisms. Understanding these functional states aids in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategies.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Physiology
- Colorectal Surgery
Background:
- Anorectal dysfunction is a significant cause of chronic constipation and fecal incontinence.
- Understanding the functional state of the anorectal segment is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the functional state of the anorectal segment in healthy individuals and patients with chronic constipation and fecal incontinence.
- To elucidate the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying these conditions.
- To differentiate between organic and functional anorectal disorders.
Main Methods:
- Continuous rectal pressure profilometry.
- Registration of rectal and sphincter motility.
- Electromyography (EMG) and reflexometry.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive assessment of functional parameters was performed.
- The study established a method for differential diagnosis.
- Findings contribute to identifying targeted treatment approaches.
Conclusions:
- Complex assessment of anorectal function is vital for understanding disease pathogenesis.
- This approach facilitates differential diagnosis between organic and functional disorders.
- It guides the selection of rational treatment tactics for anorectal conditions.
Abstract:
The functional state of the anorectal segment was studied in normality and in chronic constipation and incontinence of feces of different genesis. Continuous profilometry of rectal pressure, registration of motility of the rectum and sphincters, EMG and reflexometry were performed. A complex assessment of the findings helps to reveal the pathogenetic essence of the disease, to make differential diagnosis between organic and functional disorders, to find the rational tactics of treatment.
