| Core Tip |
In this study, we delineate a standardized digital rectal examination protocol for diagnosing functional defecation disorders and explore clinical metrics validated by dynamic imaging. By incorporating high-resolution defecographic imaging from representative cases, we can establish anatomic-pathophysiological correlations to increase diagnostic precision. These visual didactic tools serve as pivotal clinical references for training and clinical decision-making. The protocol is based on pathognomonic physical signs and systematic characterization, enabling targeted differential diagnosis and evidence-based therapeutic stratification in routine clinical workflows. |
