The authors present their initial experience with anal manometry using a PC Polygraph of Synectics Medical Co. They discuss the manometric examination of 14 patients with ulcerative colitis, incl. 12 who were operated. In all 12 patients an ilea-pouch-anal anastomosis was made. By manometry a postoperative drop of pressures at rest was found and partly also of pressures during muscular contraction as well as shortening of the zone of high anal pressure. The resulting values, however, did not influence continence, except for temporary soiling, the frequency of bowel movements being 2-8. Anal manometry is an important objective examination of the sphincter function as it makes it possible to compare values before and after therapy. It must be however combined with other anorectal physiological tests such as endosonography, EMG, defaecography etc.
