The aim of the paper — is to present the results of the consensus on the terminology used to describe data of high-resolution anorectal manometry.Methods: Online survey was conducted with the help of the public platform “Google forms” with the aim to harmonize the terms, which are used to conduct high-resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM), to agree the conformity of the proposed Russian-language terms to those used in English-language literature, and their abbreviations.Results: According to the aim, 56 specialists of different medical specialties who perform and use the results of HRAM in clinical practice and research were invited to participate in the survey. We received 45 answers from the respondents (42.2% coloproctologists, 22.2% gastroenterologists, 15.6% surgeons, 20% — representatives of other specialties). The response rate was 80.3%. According to the survey, 95.6% of respondents supported the need for harmonization of terms. Ten out of the 11 terms reached consensus level C1 (excellent), 1 term level of consistency was C2 (moderate). 90.9% of respondents (consensus level C1) were in favor of the appropriateness of using common abbreviations. However, the proposed abbreviations of the terms used in the conduct and description of the results of the HRAM can be accepted with reservations (in 10 cases out of 11 consensus level was C2).Conclusions: The agreed in interdisciplinary consensus terms can be approved and recommended for the use in clinical practice and when research data are published in Russian-language scientific literature.

There are presented normal values of anal pressure at rest and squeezing measured with non-perfusion water sphincterometer S4402 by MSM ProMedico GmbH. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 73 patients with colon adenomas before polypectomy underwent sphincterometry. All patients had no any complaints of fecal incontinence and outlet obstruction (0 points by Wexner incontinence scale and 0 points by outlet obstruction our clinic scale). Male were 28 (38,4%), average age 56,2± 10,2 years, female - 45 (61,6%), average age 54,9± 13,7 years. RESULTS. Male normal values: average rest anal pressure - 52,1 ± 19,8 mm Hg, maximum rest anal pressure - 60,3 ± 21,9 mm Hg., average squeezing anal pressure - 118,2± 41,5 mm Hg, maximum squeezing anal pressure -174,2± 56,8 mm Hg. Female normal values: average rest anal pressure - 37,1 ± 15,3 mm Hg. maximum rest anal pressure - 43,8± 15,5 mm Hg, average squeezing anal pressure - 75.1 ± 29.5 mm Hg, maximum squeezing anal pressure - 99,1 ± 39,7 mm Hg. CONCLUSION. There were detected normal values of anal pressure at rest and squeezing to use in approximate assessment of anal sphincter function. To perform comprehensive evaluation with this sphincterometer, elaboration of new software is required.
