“Clinical Ano-rectal Manometry” is an online course dedicated to the in-depth study of the examination used for the precise assessment of the functionality of the anal sphincters and rectum.

In the course, the basic steps of this examination are reiterated, namely the pressure during evacuation, at rest or during contraction, and those necessary for the correct measurement of rectal sensitivity.

The diagnostic assessment will take place through the use of THD® Anopress, THD's portable pressure gauge with dedicated software and specially developed disposable probes.

The course is aimed both at those who want to gain an understanding of this examination and those who are already practising it and want to learn more about the standardisation THD® Anopress brings to this field.
