title: [Manometry studies in the evaluation of anal continence].
abstract: In a complex measuring program performing anorectal perfusion manometry a great number of parameters were determined in incontinent patients, patients after continence improving operations and in healthy persons. In this way, we were able to select 20 parameters in which healthy persons differ from incontinent patients, the difference occurring with a security of 99.0 to 99.9%. Our investigations were carried out with test persons at rest, after distension of the rectal ampulla, during abdominal straining and coughing. Rectoanal resting profiles and stress profiles were recorded and the measuring values obtained compared with an anamnestic score.
