WASHINGTON — William D. Chey, MD, from the University of Michigan Health System discusses an abstract he presented at DDW 2015 that addresses a novel device developed to identify patients with dyssynergic defecation.
“We’ve come up with a device … called digital manometry,” he said. “It’s actually a glove-based manometry system that allows you to perform very close to a full anorectal manometry at the time you’re doing a digital rectal examination.”
Disclosure: Chey reports various financial relationships with Ardelyx, AstraZeneca, Forest, Ironwood, My Total Health, Nestle, Prometheus, QOL Medical, Salix, Sucampo, Takeda and Vibrant.
