Abstract

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a generalized connective tissue disease that affects smooth muscle cells. Patients with SSc often have faecal incontinence caused by fibrotic degeneration of the internal anal sphincter (IAS). The functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) is a novel method that allows the segmental biomechanical properties of the anal canal to be dynamically evaluated. The aim of the present study was to compare the segmental biomechanical properties of the anal canal in incontinent SSc patients and healthy controls. We hypothesized that the FLIP would reveal weaknesses of the IAS in the SSc patients.
