The normal female external anal sphincter (EAS) is shorter anteriorly than laterally and posteriorly. Furthermore, the thickness of the very proximal part of the circular EAS is thinner than 50% of the lateral and posterior EAS thickness. The extent of these features is not fully explored. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the normal anal sphincter with 3‐dimensional (3D) endoanal ultrasound (EAUS) and to relate 3D EAUS length measurements to sphincter length determined by anal manometry.
