    Author: Pescatori M, Ravo B.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 1988 Dec; 68(6):1231-48. PubMed ID: 3194819.
    Abstract:
    Anorectal manometric and electromyographic studies assess anorectal and pelvic floor neuromuscular disorders and can help in the diagnosis and management of incontinence, prolapse, megarectum, and other functional anorectal disorders. These studies can assess preoperative and postoperative anorectal function and help in the differential diagnosis of anorectal disorders, and thus they assist the surgeon in carrying out rational therapy.
