    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study introduces a manometric system for measuring anal high-pressure zones. Resting amplitude is identified as the best indicator of sphincter strength, crucial for diagnosing constipation and incontinence.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Physiology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Sphincter dysfunction is a key factor in anorectal disorders.
    • Accurate assessment of anal sphincter strength is vital for diagnosis and treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a manometric system for recording the anal high-pressure zone.
    • To identify the most reliable variable for assessing anal sphincter strength.

    Main Methods:

    • A manometric system was utilized to record anal high-pressure zones.
    • Anal manometry was performed on a cohort of 77 individuals.

    Main Results:

    • The amplitude at rest was determined to be the most suitable variable for assessing sphincter strength.

  • The system effectively recorded anal high-pressure zones.

    • Conclusions:

    • Anal manometry, particularly measuring resting amplitude, is indicated for patients with chronic constipation or fecal incontinence.
    • This technique is valuable for the postoperative assessment of procedures affecting sphincter control.
