title: [Endorectal echography--diagnostic relevance in pararectal and perivesical region diseases].
abstract: The diagnostic relevance of endorectal ultrasonography is assessed in a series of 56 patients presenting surgical, urological and obstetric-gynecological conditions, distributed as follows: carcinoma of the rectum (30 cases), prostate gland pathology (12 men) and uterine neck carcinoma (14 women). Endorectal echography contributes greatly to preoperative staging of the patients with rectal carcinoma. In prostate gland diseases it proves helpful in making the diagnosis before and after the treatment. In conclusion it is underscored that endorectal echography is a noninvasive procedure highly effective economically.
