Abstract

Defecation is a complex process that is difficult to directly examine and analyze. In anorectal diseases, defecation function may be impared, resulting in associated symptoms such as incontinence and/ or constipation. Therefore, the need for physiologically relevant and easy- to- use diagnostic tests is important to identify the underlying mechanisms. For this purpose, we wanted tos hare with you the results we have compiled from the studies carried out on this subject in recent years.

Özet

Dışkılama doğrudan incelenmesi ve analiz edilmesi zor olan karmaşık bir süreçtir. Anorektal hastalıklarda dışkılama fonksiyonu bozulabilir ve sonuçta bununla ilgili inkontinans ve/veya kabızlık gibi semptomlara neden olabilir. Bu nedenle fizyolojik olarak ilgili ve kullanımı kolay teşhis testlerine duyulan ihtiyaç, altta yatan mekanizmaların belirlenmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu amaçla son yıllarda bu konuda yapılan çalışmalardan derlediğimiz sonuçları sizlerle paylaşmak istedik.
