A288 ANAL SPHINCTER RELAXATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEFECATION REFLEX AND GAS EXPULSION, ASSESSED BY HIGH-RESOLUTION COLONIC MANOMETRY
Abstract
Continence and defecation require coordination between colonic motor patterns and internal anal sphincter relaxation, yet these relationships are not well understood. Our aim was to investigate the coordination between human colonic motor patterns and anal sphincter activity. High-Resolution Colonic Manometry (HRCM) was performed using an 84 sensor water-perfused catheter (1 cm spacing) in 14 healthy subjects. Colonic motor patterns and …
