Summary
This study tested a new device called EndoFLIP to see if it can better diagnose anismus, a condition where the anal muscles don't relax properly during bowel movements, causing severe constipation. Researchers measured anal stretchiness in 61 adults with long-term constipation and compared the results to standard tests. The goal was to see if EndoFLIP is more accurate and easier for diagnosing anismus.
