The rectum, anal sphincter and puborectalis muscle show different contraction wave forms during prolonged measurement with a simulated feces

Abstract Contractile patterns in rectum, puborectalis muscle and anal sphincter must be studied to understand defecation. Six subjects had contractile waveforms studied with Fecobionics. Symptom questionnaires, balloon expulsion test and anorectal manometry were done for reference. The Fecobionics b...
