Popis: There are many tests of anorectal function and a recent review identifies the capabilities of these various tests and techniques, and provides some direction for their use in patients with the common conditions of fecal incontinence, constipation and anorectal pain [1]. The present discussion will deal with two tests of the anorectal area that are frequently used in the assessment of pelvic floor disorders, defecography (evacuation proctography) and anorectal manometry.
