Influence of body position on defecation mechanics measured during high-resolution anorectal manometry in paediatric population: a protocol for case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Three-dimensional high-resolution anorectal manometry (3D HRAM) is a minimally invasive test allowing the assessment of lower gastrointestinal tract function. Nowadays, it is performed in left lateral or supine position (non-physiological) in accordance with the London Protocol. 3D HRAM can disclose pathological defecation model such as dyssynergic defecation (DD) that might be a cause of constipation in a significant percentage of patients.3D HRAM in healthy adults in lying position shows up to 67%-87% abnormal results during the bear-down manoeuvre; it may result from the non-physiological position taken during the examination.The aim of this study is to assess the influence of body position on parameters of the bear-down manoeuvre during 3D HRAM in children with con
