Potential causes of the preoperative increase in the rectosigmoid cyclic motor pattern: A high-resolution manometry study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cyclic motor patterns (CMPs) are the most common motor pattern in the distal colon. This study used high-resolution (HR) colonic manometry to quantify trends in distal colonic motor activity before elective colonic surgery, determine the effect of a preoperative carbohydrate load, and compare this with a meal response in healthy controls.

Methods

Fiber-optic HR colonic manometry (36 sensors, 1 cm intervals) was used to investigate distal colonic motor activity in 10 adult patients prior to elective colonic surgery, 6 of whom consumed a preoperative carbohydrate drink (200 kCal). Data were compared with nine healthy volunteers who underwent HR colonic manometry recordings while fasted and following a 700 kCal meal. The primary outcome was the percentage of recordin
