Manometria del colon (MC)

Metodica di studio delle variazioni pressorie nel lume dei differenti tratti colici, richiede l’ausilio della fluoroscopia e dell’endoscopio flessibile. In caso venga eseguita una MC protratta, questa necessita anche del sistema manometrico speciale accennato sopra (vedi MAR). A causa della relativa inaccessibilità del colon prossimale, solo dopo l’avvento dell’endoscopica – cioè da circa 30 anni in Italia – è stato possibile ottenere registrazioni manometriche dei tratti colici a monte del sigma. Le conoscenze sulla meccanica e sulla motilità del colon sono ancora insufficienti per definire gli aspetti normali e le alterazioni funzionali dei patterns presso-volumetrici.
