Endoanal ultrasound and anorectal manometry are two of the most important investigations in the assessment of anorectal and pelvic floor disorders—yet knowing how to perform, interpret and clinically integrate these investigations can be challenging.

This programme has been developed to provide a practical, structured introduction to both investigations.

Starting with the fundamental principles of ultrasound and anorectal physiology, the programme takes you through normal pelvic floor anatomy, endoanal ultrasound anatomy, pathological ultrasound findings and the principles of anorectal manometry.

Whether you perform these investigations yourself, report them, discuss findings in multidisciplinary meetings or simply want to develop a better understanding of anorectal diagnostics, this programme provides a practical foundation for modern clinical practice.

Course Modules:

Module 1 — Ultrasound Principles

Understand the fundamental principles of ultrasound relevant to pelvic floor and endoanal imaging, including image formation, probe orientation, artefacts and the practical factors that influence image quality.

Module 2 — Clinical Indications

Understand when endoanal ultrasound and anorectal manometry should be considered, the clinical questions each investigation can answer and how to select the most appropriate investigation for individual patients.

Module 3 — Pelvic Floor Anatomy

Develop a clear understanding of the anatomy of the pelvic floor and anorectal region, providing the foundation required to interpret both imaging and physiological investigations accurately.

Module 4 — Anal Canal & Endoanal Ultrasound Anatomy

Learn a systematic approach to endoanal ultrasound, recognising the normal anatomy of the internal and external anal sphincters and understanding how the structures appear on ultrasound.

Module 5 — Pathological Endoanal Ultrasound

Build confidence in recognising common pathological findings on endoanal ultrasound, including sphincter defects and injuries, and develop a structured approach to describing and interpreting abnormalities.

Module 6 — Anorectal Manometry

Understand the principles of anorectal manometry, normal anorectal physiology and the interpretation of pressure measurements. Learn how to recognise common abnormal patterns and relate physiological findings to clinical presentation.

What You'll Learn

By the end of this programme you will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental principles of ultrasound and anorectal physiology.

• Recognise the relevant anatomy of the pelvic floor and anal canal.

• Understand the clinical indications for endoanal ultrasound and anorectal manometry.

• Develop a systematic approach to performing and interpreting endoanal ultrasound.

• Recognise normal internal and external anal sphincter anatomy.

• Identify common pathological findings on endoanal ultrasound.

• Understand the principles and clinical application of anorectal manometry.

• Recognise normal and abnormal anorectal manometry patterns.

• Relate imaging and physiological findings to patient symptoms and clinical presentation.

• Understand the strengths and limitations of these investigations.

This programme won't teach you to memorise images or pressure traces—it will teach you how to interpret them systematically and understand what they mean clinically.

Designed For

This programme has been designed for healthcare professionals involved in the assessment and management of anorectal and pelvic floor disorders, including:

• Colorectal Surgeons

• Gastroenterologists

• Urogynaecologists

• Radiologists

• Physiotherapists

• Sonographers

• Specialist Nurses

• Trainees

No previous experience in endoanal ultrasound or anorectal manometry is required.

What's Included

• 6 professionally illustrated teaching modules.

• 30+ real clinical cases with guided interpretation.

• Practical examples of normal and pathological endoanal ultrasound.

• Structured teaching on anorectal manometry interpretation.

• Formative assessments throughout the programme.

• On-demand access—learn entirely at your own pace.

Developed From Clinical Practice

This programme has been developed through specialist clinical practice and refined through years of teaching healthcare professionals involved in pelvic floor diagnostics.

Rather than simply recording a live teaching session, the programme has been designed specifically for online learning, combining clear structured teaching with bespoke illustrations, real clinical cases and practical interpretation exercises.

The emphasis throughout is on developing a consistent approach that can be applied to real patients.

Why This Programme Is Different

Endoanal ultrasound and anorectal manometry are often taught as separate investigations.

In clinical practice, they are closely connected.

Ultrasound provides detailed anatomical information about the anal sphincter complex, while anorectal manometry provides functional information about anorectal physiology. Understanding how these investigations answer different clinical questions—and how their findings relate to symptoms—is essential for meaningful interpretation.

This programme brings the two investigations together within a single structured learning pathway.

You will learn not only what you are looking at, but why it matters.

Continue Your Learning

Completing this programme is the beginning—not the end—of your development in pelvic floor diagnostics.

Clinical expertise develops through continued exposure to patients, investigations and multidisciplinary discussion.

For those wishing to continue learning, The Pelvic Floor Academy Community provides ongoing access to educational webinars, clinical cases with guided interpretation and a growing international community of healthcare professionals with an interest in pelvic floor diagnostics.

Community Benefits

• Regular live webinars

• Annotated clinical cases

• Expanding case library

• Practical clinical discussions

• International multidisciplinary community

Our Philosophy

Understand the anatomy.

Understand the physiology.

Choose the right investigation.

Interpret it systematically.

Always relate the findings back to the patient.

Every ultrasound image and every pressure trace contains information that can help answer an important clinical question.

Our responsibility isn't simply to perform investigations—it is to understand what they show, recognise their limitations and interpret the findings in the context of the patient.

Better interpretation leads to better decisions.

Better decisions lead to better patient care.
