Episode 20. Endoanal ultrasound and anorectal physiology with Dr TC Nguyen
Endorectal ultrasonography combined with anorectal physiology allows the evaluation of the constituents of the wall of the anal canal and the scientific understanding of anorectal pathophysiology. It is very important to appreciate a patient’s anorectal dynamics before initiating an effective management strategy for what may be a wide variety of pelvic-anorectal disorders.
In this episode we are joined by expert colorectal surgeon Mr T C Nguyen as he discusses the application of endorectal ultrasound and anorectal physiology studies –
· The management of faecal incontinence
· Management of obstructed defecation (Anismus) and dyssynergia
These medical problems are more common than is recognised and often not openly discussed by patients. Please join this interesting and helpful conversation.
