Core Tip
Core tip: Colonic motility disorders are associated with numerous clinical diseases, while the detailed process and mechanism of colonic motility remain unclear. High-resolution colonic manometry (HRCM) has rapidly developed into a major technique for obtaining greater insight into the physiology and/or pathophysiology of colonic contractile activity in patients with colonic motility disorders. This review focuses on colonic motility, manometry, operation, and motor patterns, as well as the clinical application of HRCM, and aims to assess whether the results of HRCM have led to the establishment of diagnostic criteria and/or have helped guide the treatment of patients.
