Anorectal manometry after rectal surgery: a case report with rectal bleeding and perforation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anorectal manometry (ARM) is primarily used to assess anorectal sensorimotor function. ARM provides comprehensive information about the anal sphincter and rectal sensation in patients with constipation or fecal incontinence. Generally, ARM can be applied to both adults and children. This study is the first to report a case of post-rectal resection ARM with constipation complicating rectal bleeding and perforation in a patient with no history of rectal cancer, aiming to provide guidelines for the treatment of patients who undergo ARM after rectal surgery.

Case description

A 58-year-old female patient with previous history of "hypertension and cerebral infarction" underwent "proctocolectomy" for "rectal prolapse" 11+ months ago and recovered well after the operation
