title: [Endoanal transrectal ultrasonography in the diagnosis and care of patients with rectal carcinoma].
abstract: Endoanal sonography in rectal tumor is diagnostically significant. This method helps to specify the prognosis of patients with malignant rectal tumor. Endoanal sonography examination before the operation corresponds with postoperative histopathological findings (endoanal sensitivity uT--91.6%). The method is most important during the follow-up of patients after surgery and in ascertainment of local recurrence (endoanal sensitivity recidivation uT--86%). The authors present their experience with 402 patients. The advantages of endoanal transrectal sonography are possibilities of determination of staging the tumors which can not be reached physically, information of the way of spreading and penetration depth of the tumor, information about their growth, simplicity and easy repetition of the process and economical convenience.
