| Summary: | This book provides the first comprehensive guide to normal and abnormal findings on rectal sonograms. For over a century surgeons have relied on clinical judgement and a digital rectal examination for assessing patients with rectal cancer and other anorectal disorders. Now, though, endosonography is recognised as the most accurate method for thepre-operative assessment of rectal cancers and may become the best techniquefor routine post-operative follow-up in the detection of local recurrence. The text is brief and summarises the important developments in technique and interpretation. There is a section on practical aspects ofendosonography, together with a large number of sonograms illustrating the normal anatomical findings. |
