Background How much anal sphincter dysfunction contributes to fecal incontinence (FI) is not clear. High‐definition anorectal manometry (HDAM) and functional luminal imaging probe (Endoflip) are two new techniques to study anal sphincter function. Aims The goal was to compare the diagnostic utility...
