The relationships between the results of contemporary tests of anorectal structure and sensorimotor function and the severity of fecal incontinence

Diagnostic investigations for fecal incontinence (FI) assess the structure and sensorimotor function of the anorectum. Investigations include anorectal manometry, anorectal sensory testing, pudendal nerve terminal motor latencies (PNTML), and endoanal sonography. The severity of FI and results of investigations are often discordant and the rate of symptom resolution following treatment remains <40%. High‐resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM) and three‐dimensional endoanal ultrasound (3D‐US) have been introduced during the last decade. This study aims to assess the strength of relationships between contemporary investigation results and FI severity.
