Evaluation of a Modified London Protocol to Diagnose Defecation Disorders With High‐Definition Anorectal Manometry
Based on our results, two push efforts of ten seconds each may be enough to reach an accurate manometric diagnosis of defecation disorders. Five-second push may not be sufficient given the transient increase in anal pressure at the beginning of the push attempt. Performing only two push maneuvers of ten seconds each may reduce by 55 s the length of this cumbersome examination.
