title: [Diagnostic possibilities of anal endosonography in proctology. Part II].
abstract: In the second part of the paper, we present advantages and drawbacks of transanal endosonography with the use of axial endoprobe in the diagnostics of perianal and perirectal abscesses and fistulas and also for tumours of the rectum. Typical images of the fistula nad abscess were shown. Ultrasonographic staging for the rectum malignancies was presented together with possibilities of assessment perirectal lymph nodes involvement by ultrasonography. Diagnosis of local recurrence by anal endosonography was presented and compared with other methods.
