Real‐time tissue elastography is a new method available on ultrasonography for the quantitation of strain. Evaluating anorectal function using real‐time tissue elastography has not been reported. We established a novel method of quantitating the degree of hardness of the internal anal sphincter, using real‐time tissue elastography on endoanal ultrasonography.
