The final aim of this web site is to create such group which
is expected to conduct multi-center trials comparing different
approaches using integrated anorectal physiology against each
other and against traditional research methodology aiming at
suggesting the appropriate research methodology which should
be used by most of the centers all over the world for management
of cases with functional anorectal disorders.
Criteria
for selection of the ideal approach in functional Coloproctology:
It
should suggest and quantitate the mechanical factors responsible
for normal continence and normal defecation.
It
should suggest and quantitate the role played by sensory
and reflex factors and how they interact with mechanical
factors in normal individuals.
Explain
and confirm the non controversial database reported previously
in the literature using the traditional research methodology.
Clearly
explain and justify the controversies reported in the data
base using traditional research methodology.
It
can diagnose and accurately quantitate the severity of Anal
Incontinence and constipation without overlap between normal
and abnormal.
It
should be able to quantitate the role played by each individual
factor if the cause of A.I. or constipation is multifactorial
in any individual patient.
Help
in accurate planning of treatment in any particular patient.
Helps
for predicting outcome of treatment in any individual patient.
Follow
up of patients after treatment with accurate Quantitation
of the role played individually by each treatment modality
if different modalities are combined in any particular patient.
Helps
to create new more accurate diagnostic or novel treatment
modalities for functional anorectal disorders.
Each
of the above 10 points assessment is scored from 0-10 according
to its overall accuracy in achieving the suggested goals. With
an overall accuracy score made of 100 points.
