Abstract

Korough anatomical knowledge of the anal/rectal area is required to properly diagnose the causes of anal and faecal incontinence. In diagnostics we dierentiate between stool leaks due to birthDreD lated injuries, or as a result of functional disordeD rs, especially in older patients.

Ke examinations include quality of life questionnaires, physical examinations and imaging methods, such as anoD rectal manometry, which provides functional diaD gnostics, or ultrasonography.
