- Abstract
Rectal intussusception (RI) is a significant cause of morbidity amongst those with a rectal evacuatory disorder. The pathophysiology is unknown, but may involve abnormal biomechanics of the rectal wall similar to that previously demonstrated in patients with overt rectal prolapse (RP). Using an electromechanical barostat, this study aimed to investigate the biomechanics and visceroperception of the rectal wall in patients with RI.
