title: [Electromanometric studies of the sphincter zone using unperfused probes on children with a healthy anus].
abstract: With regard to the measuring technique with unperfused water-filled tubes, many authors report different standards concerning the anorectal pressure zone. In order to define standards, 133 infants with healthy anorectal sphincter from 1 to 12 years of age were examined by this method. As a result, it must be stated that this method cannot reproduce standards. For this reason, very thin perfused tubes with very low rates of perfusion should be used to obtain at least the anorectal pressure profile. The reasons for the poor results achieved with this method, due to the measuring technique, are demonstrated.
