An ampullometrogram (AMG) was done in 20 patients to evaluate the rectal ampulla as a functional unit. Results were compared to a cystometrogram (CMG). The AMG displayed a normal curve (capacity 230 to 330 ml; pressure 47 to 80 cmH(2)O) in 14 of 16 patients having a normal CMG. The AMG was hyporeflexic (variable capacity; no increase in pressure at capacity) in 3 of 5 patients having a hyporeflexic CMG and hyperreflexic (capacity less than 175 ml, pressure over 80 cmH(2)O) in one patient having a hyperreflexic CMG. This technique might represent a useful clinical adjunct in the evaluation of bladder dysfunction, the evaluation of neurogenic type bowel dysfunction, and in the possible use of functional electrical stimulation for treatment of faecal incontinence or constipation.
对20例患者进行了壶腹测压图（AMG）检查，以评估直肠壶腹作为一个功能单位的情况。将结果与膀胱测压图（CMG）进行比较。在16例CMG正常的患者中，有14例AMG显示正常曲线（容量230至330毫升；压力47至80厘米水柱）。在5例CMG反射减退的患者中，有3例AMG反射减退（容量可变；容量增加时压力无增加），在1例CMG反射亢进的患者中，AMG反射亢进（容量小于175毫升，压力超过80厘米水柱）。这项技术可能是评估膀胱功能障碍、神经源性肠道功能障碍以及功能性电刺激治疗大便失禁或便秘的一种有用的临床辅助手段。
