A New Rectal Ultrasonographic Method for the Staging of Rectal Cancer

Comments: José-M Ramírez

I have read with great interest de paper from Beer-Gabel et al.  As they point out, the worldwide accepted best technique of rectal ultrasound employs a balloon at the tip of the probe for rectal distension. The idea of scanning the rectal wall by just water filling the rectum is not new (see A. Heinz et al at Surg Endosc 1989; 3:92-95), and most studies in this subject agree about the advantages and better results.  However, the great problem of this method is to properly fill the entire rectum and to keep the water inside it, difficult when the tumour is close to anal verge. In any case, this is an important paper that remember us that even stenosant rectal tumours can be well staged by means of ultrasound.
