How correlate the manometry pressures with fecal incontinence severity index and presence of sphincter defects?

Background: Fecal incontinence is a common health care problem affecting 1–7% of the population. The aim of this study was to determine the relatonship between anorectal manometry, fecal incontinence severity and findings at endoanal ultrasound. Patients and methods: 28 consecutive patients (21 females and 7 males) was enrolled in the program. The severity of incontinence was determinate by the Cleveland score system. Endoanal ultrasound were performed to exclude or proved structural damage. Anorectal manometry was performed to detect the perception tresholds and measure sphincter function. Cleveland score and m…
