The development of colonic manometry and its clinical application in children with colonic dysmotility / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Colonic dysmotility is a common gastrointestinal motility disease in children, with the main manifestations of abdominal distension and constipation.Colonic manometry is currently considered as a standard diagnostic method for assessing colonic motility, which real-time measures intracolonic pressure and the shape and coordination of colonic muscle pressure waves at rest and stimulating states and thus qualitatively and quantitatively assess the colonic movement.Recently, high-resolution colonic manometry has been rapidly developed into a major technique for obtaining more effective information involved in the physiology and/or pathophysiology of colonic contractile activity in colonic dysmotility patients.This review focuses on the development of colonic manometry and its clinical application in children with colonic dysmotility.
