Endoanal and endorectal ultrasound represents considerable progress
in the field of anorectal imaging. Its importance in the staging of
rectal and anal cancer, in identifying perianasto- motic neoplastic
recurrences, in defining acute and chronic suppurative disease and
in assessing sphincteral anatomical integrity, is now a confirmed
reality. The evidence provided by endoanal and endorectal
ultrasonography guides the colorectal surgeon in his choice among
the various therapeutic approaches and helps in assessing the
effects of the treatments applied. The great flexibility and high
degree of reliability make this exploratory method an indispensable
tool at all stages of the clinical course in the majority of
patients with anorectal problems, including the fundamental
follow-up stage. The publication of this excellent volume on
intraanal and intrarectal ultrasonog- raphy is therefore to be
appreciated, especially since it is in the form of an atlas. As we
are dealing with imaging, it is particularly appropriate that it is
the images that tell the story. Like all important things, this
volume does not come out of nothing. It is the result of many years
of skilled work by Drs. G.A. Santoro and G. Di Falco and is based
on the experience of internationally renowned professional experts.
The ten sections of the atlas begin with general information on
ultrasonography, gradually progressing to the technical problems of
the method and the aspects rela- tive to anorectal tumors.This last
section leads to a review of traditional and mod- ern therapeutic
possibilities.
