ENDOANAL USG

About the Endoanal Ultrasound (Endoanal USG) Test

Endoanal Ultrasound, also known as Endoanal USG, is a specialized ultrasound examination used to evaluate the anal canal, anal sphincter muscles and surrounding soft tissues. It provides detailed anatomical information that can support the clinical assessment of anorectal conditions.

The examination uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to create real-time images of the anal canal and sphincter complex. It does not use ionizing radiation.

What Does Endoanal Ultrasound Evaluate?

Endoanal Ultrasound can evaluate the internal and external anal sphincter, anal canal and surrounding soft tissues. It may help identify structural abnormalities, sphincter defects and other anatomical changes relevant to clinical evaluation.

Why Is Endoanal USG Performed?

A doctor may recommend Endoanal Ultrasound when detailed assessment of the anal sphincter or anal canal is required. It may be considered during the evaluation of fecal incontinence, suspected anal sphincter injury, anorectal disorders and selected cases requiring anatomical assessment.

How Is Endoanal Ultrasound Performed?

During the examination, a specialized ultrasound probe is carefully inserted into the anal canal. The probe produces high-frequency sound waves that create detailed images of the anal canal, sphincter muscles and surrounding tissues.

Preparation for Endoanal Ultrasound

Preparation requirements may vary depending on the clinical indication and imaging centre protocol. Patients should follow the preparation instructions provided by the radiology team before the examination.

Benefits of Endoanal Ultrasound

Endoanal Ultrasound provides detailed imaging of the anal sphincter and surrounding soft tissues without ionizing radiation. Real-time imaging can provide useful anatomical information for clinical evaluation and treatment planning when appropriate.

Understanding the Endoanal Ultrasound Report

The report may describe the appearance and integrity of the anal sphincter complex, anal canal and surrounding structures. Findings should be interpreted together with symptoms, medical history and clinical examination.
