摘 要: | Anorectal manometry (ARM) is a non-invasive clinical tool of detecting anorectal rectal motion reflexes with a pressure detection device. It has been widely employed for diagnosing and treating Hirschsprung’s disease and allied disorders due to the advantages of mini-invasiveness, non-radioactivity, rapidness and convenience. However, its diagnostic value has remained controversial. This review summarized the application of ARM in recent years and discussed its shortcomings to help better diagnose the diseases, evaluate the prognosis, improve patient quality-of-life and provide new rationales for in-depth ARM researches. © 2022, Journal of Clinical Pediatric Surgery.
