Understanding the physiology of human defaecation and disorders of continence and evacuation.
Heitmann PT, Vollebregt PF, Knowles CH, Lunniss PJ, Dinning PG, Scott SM. Heitmann PT, et al. Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2021 Nov;18(11):751-769. doi: 10.1038/s41575-021-00487-5. Epub 2021 Aug 9. Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2021. PMID: 34373626 Review.
The act of defaecation, although a ubiquitous human experience, requires the coordinated actions of the anorectum and colon, pelvic floor musculature, and the enteric, peripheral and central nervous systems. ...During the past decade, there have been major advances in the …

Anorectal anatomy and physiology.
Barleben A, Mills S. Barleben A, et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2010 Feb;90(1):1-15, Table of Contents. doi: 10.1016/j.suc.2009.09.001. Surg Clin North Am. 2010. PMID: 20109629
The rectum and anal canal form the last portion of the gastrointestinal tract. The rectum serves as a reservoir for fecal contents, and the anal canal regulates continence and defecation via synchronization of events regulated by complex …

Post-surgical fecal incontinence.
Pucciani F. Pucciani F. Updates Surg. 2018 Dec;70(4):477-484. doi: 10.1007/s13304-017-0508-y. Epub 2017 Dec 30. Updates Surg. 2018. PMID: 29290046
Maximal tolerated volume and rectal compliance were significantly impaired in operated patients with rectum involvement (colo-anal anastomosis, Delorme, restorative procto-colectomy and STARR). External anal sphincter (EAS) defects were present in 33.1% of al …

Novel insights into physiological mechanisms underlying fecal continence.
Trzpis M, Sun G, Chen JH, Huizinga JD, Broens P. Trzpis M, et al. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2023 Jan 1;324(1):G1-G9. doi: 10.1152/ajpgi.00313.2021. Epub 2022 Oct 25. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2023. PMID: 36283962 Free article. Review.
Knowledge of the physiology of fecal continence is key toward understanding the pathophysiology of fecal incontinence. The idea that involuntary contraction of the internal anal sphincter is the primary mechanism of continence and that the external anal sphincter su …

Update of tests of colon and rectal structure and function.
Bharucha AE. Bharucha AE. J Clin Gastroenterol. 2006 Feb;40(2):96-103. doi: 10.1097/01.mcg.0000196190.42296.a9. J Clin Gastroenterol. 2006. PMID: 16394868 Review.
In patients with fecal incontinence, diagnostic testing complements the clinical assessment for evaluating the pathophysiology and guiding management. Manometry measures anal resting and squeeze pressures, which predominantly reflect internal and external anal sphin …

A study of the effect of distension of the rectosigmoid junction on the rectum and anal canal with evidence of a rectosigmoid-rectal reflex.
Shafik A. Shafik A. J Surg Res. 1999 Mar;82(1):73-7. doi: 10.1006/jsre.1998.5517. J Surg Res. 1999. PMID: 10068529
The experiments were repeated after individual anesthetization of the RSJ, rectum, and anal canal. The expulsion of a 50-ml distended balloon located in the anesthetized rectum was tested. ...Balloon expulsion occurred only with distension with volumes …
