Summary: Author presents his own thirteen years lasting experiences in using of Endoanal Transrectal Ultrasonography (ET USG). In accordance with more than 3300 examinations he proves accuracy, easy using and inevitability of ET USG in pre-opeiative determination of the rectal carcinoma staging. In post-operative observing author emphasises the meaning of ET USG for early determination of local recurrences of the rectal carcinomas, that enables to indicate 'second look' operative performances as soon as posible.
Author points at the possible using of the ET USG by the evaluation of the continuity in the sphincter apparatus of the rectum as well as in diagnostics of the periproctal fistulas and abscesses.
