Transrectal ultrasound, manometry, and pudendal nerve terminal latency studies in the evaluation of sphincter injuries.
Transrectal ultrasound, manometry, and pudendal nerve terminal latency studies in the evaluation of sphincter injuries. Clinics in colon and rectal surgery Gurland, B., Hull, T. 2008; 21 (3): 157-66Abstract
Fecal incontinence may be due to postpartum anal sphincter injuries or neurological damage even in the absence of obvious perineal trauma. Anal physiologic testing with transrectal ultrasound, manometry, and pudendal nerve terminal latency studies help to identify those patients with anal sphincter injuries who might benefit from anal sphincter repair. In this article, the authors discuss the specific tests that are available and how to interpret them.
