Clinical Ultrasound in Benign Proctology: 2D and 3D Anal Vaginal and Transperineal Techniques

Book Description
2-D and 3-D anal ultrasound are among the most recent and advanced
tools available for both the diagnosis and the management of
anorectal diseases. They are neither expensive nor harmful for the
patients and progressively replaced anal mapping with EMG electrodes
for the diagnosis of sphincter's defects and anismus, which
represents nearly 50% of the cases of chronic constipation. Anal US
may provide the clinician with useful information for both
classification, diagnosis and management of anorectal sepsis, anal
incontinence and anorectal-perineal chronic pain. Almost any case
presented in this Atlas shows both imaging and clinical pictures,
thus allowing both the radiologist and the clinician to assess the
reliability of the exam and the outcome of the selected treatment.
