The clinical application of anorectal manometry was pioneered by
pediatric sur- geons. Swenson in 1949 reported that the aganglionic
bowel of patients with Hirsch- sprung's disease did not show any
propulsive movements. In 1967 Lawson and Nixon and Schnaufer et al.
found that the rectosphincteric reflex, which is ob- served in both
normal individuals and patients with chronic idiopathic constipa-
tion, is absent in patients with Hirschsprung's disease, and
suggested anorectal manometry to be useful for the differentiation
of Hirschsprung's disease from chronic idiopathic constipation.
Studies on the pathophysiology of constipation and incontinence
problems have flourished in Japan; the Japanese Research Society
for Anorectal Manometry in Childhood was founded in 1975 by Ikeda,
Okamoto, Katsumata, and Kasai. The Society has contributed greatly
to advances in the clinical application of anorectal manometry.
Basic investigations on the function of the anorectum in both
normal individuals and patients with constipation or incontinence
problems have also been promoted by members of the Society. The
technique of anorectal manometry has been refined and standardized.
The criteria for manometric diag- nosis of Hirschsprung's disease
have been established. And the correlation be- tween postoperative
continence in patients with Hirschsprung's disease or ano- rectal
malformation and manometric findings has been understood. In this
section, works by members of the Society are presented.
