Anorectal two- and three-dimensional ultrasonography is useful for staging rarer benign and malignant pelvic diseases by identifying their relationship to the rectal wall and sphincter muscles.

This chapter discusses the role of anorectal two- and three-dimensional ultrasonography for evaluating rarer benign and malignant anorectal and pelvic conditions, focusing on how the imaging is used to stage lesions in relation to the rectal wall and sphincter muscles. It reports that the exam helps characterize anatomical relationships that can inform selection of the best treatment option. The main limitation explicitly stated is that the text provided is an overview from a chapter rather than detailed patient-level methods or results. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it describes 2- and 3-D ultrasonography for staging endometriosis in the anorectal/pelvic compartment by assessing lesion relationships to rectal wall and sphincter muscles.

Abstract

Here we discuss the role of the anorectal two- and three-dimensional ultrasonography in evaluating rarer benign and malignant anorectal and pelvic diseases. This is a useful exam to stage such lesions, identifying their relationship with the rectal wall and sphincter muscles and helping choose the best treatment option.
