Study summary

Anorectal 3D high resolution manometry (3D HRM) is the most advanced version of manometry equipment and has been recently introduced into clinical practice. It is the most precise method to assess the anal sphincter pressure function and may be crucial for planning and controlling surgical procedures of the anorectal area. Normal values in pediatric population have not been established.

The aim of this study is complex evaluation of anorectal function in children without symptoms from lower GI tract and establishment of normal values.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean and maximum sphincters pressures during rest, voluntary squeeze and bear down maneuvers and Asymmetry of the anal canal

    Pressures during voluntary maneuvers will be obtained if cooperation with a child will be possible

    Time frame: up to 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. Presence of Rectoanal Inhibitory Reflex

    Amount of air in a balloon needed to elicit Rectoanal Inhibitory Reflex

    Time frame: up to 5 minutes

  2. Presence of dyssynergic defecation

    Percent of children without constipation but with dyssynergic defecation pattern

    Time frame: up to 1 minute

  3. Presence of Cough Reflex

    Time frame: 10 seconds

  4. Presence of Ano-anal Reflex

    Time frame: 10 seconds

  5. Presence of discomfort during the procedure

    Time frame: up to 20 minutes
