В статье представлен обзор литературы по нормальной анатомии мышц тазового дна и методам оценки их функционального состояния, которые на сегодняшний день в свете мультидисциплинарного подхода могут быть использованы в колопроктологической, гинекологической и урологической практике. Спектр описываемых методов начинается от простейших методик оценки функционального состояния мышц тазового дна при осмотре и заканчивается аноректальной манометрией высокого разрешения с помощью водно-перфузионных катетеров с построением виртуальной модели распределения давления в анальном канале.

The article presents a review of the literature on the normal anatomy of the pelvic floor muscles and methods for assessing their functional state, which, to date, in the light of a multidisciplinary approach, can be used in coloproctological, gynecological and urological practices. The spectrum of the described methods starts from the simplest methods of assessing the functional state of the muscles of the pelvic floor during examination and ends with anorectal high-resolution manometry using water-perfusion catheters with the construction of a virtual model for the distribution of pressure in the anal canal.
