Presented selected case reports are focused on the individual cases of patients suffering from functional anorectal disorders. During the examination algorithm, the emphasis is on 3D high-resolution anorectal manometry, which is a useful diagnostic technique and helps to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms in the field of functional anorectal disorders. Thanks to a comprehensive examination an individualized treatment plan can be determined for each patient.

Anorectal manometry (ARM) is a diagnostic test that utilizes pressure sensors to dynamically measure intraluminal anal and rectal pressures, thus providing an objective evaluation of anorectal functional parameters (tone, contractility, and relaxation), coordination and reflex activity, and sensation. ARM is a useful test for numerous indications including for the assessment and management of functional anorectal disorders such as fecal incontinence, functional defecatory disorders, and functional anorectal pain, preoperative assessment of anorectal function, and in facilitating/assessing response to biofeedback training. In addition, while many functional anorectal disorders present with overlapping symptoms (ie constipation, anorectal pain), ARM allows delineation of more specific disease processes and may guide treatment more effectively.

The London Protocol and Classification were developed to standardize anorectal motility patterns classification. This proof-of-concept study aims to develop and validate an artificial intelligence model for identification and differentiation of disorders of anal tone and contractility in HR-ARM.

Background And Aims: Diagnosing dyssynergic disorders (DD) often requires 3D high-definition anorectal manometry (3D-HRAM), raising concerns about cost, availability, and delayed referral. Digital rectal examination (DRE) offers a reliable, cost-effective alternative for DD diagnosis. This study aimed to assess DRE's capability to classify DD patients into the four subtypes outlined in Rao's classification.

Article Synopsis
- Women with fecal incontinence (FI) experience significant delays in motor evoked potentials (MEP) along the cortico-spino-anorectal pathway compared to age-matched and young healthy volunteers, indicating neurological impairments.
- The study involved 18 women with FI, using methods like high-resolution anorectal manometry and magnetic stimulation to assess motor function and quality of life.
- Findings revealed a high prevalence of external and internal anal sphincter dysfunction and worse quality of life scores for FI patients, emphasizing the need for better understanding and treatment strategies focused on neuromuscular function.
Obesity is Independently Associated with Increased Risk of Fecal Incontinence and Altered Rectal Sensitivity.

Background: Hindgut symptoms are poorly understood complications of obesity. The impact of obesity on fecal incontinence (FI) and anorectal physiology remains unclear, with inconsistent results in prior studies. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between obesity and FI, and the physiological changes in anorectal function.
