“…Comparisons showed identical findings with regard to internal anal sphincter (IAS) volumes and asymmetries. The authors concluded that 3D-EUS supplies accurate information with regard to IAS dimensions, but does not reliably outline deeper muscular layers [4].…”

“…Starck and colleagues presented reference data of anal-sphincter measurement at four positions (12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock) [56]. In cadavers before fixation, Konerding and coworkers [57] measured the external and internal sphincter at eight positions along the anal circumference. They found the internal sphincter to be at its thickest posteriorly, while our present finding of the internal sphincter being at its thickest at the 12 o'clock position might be explained by the examinations being carried out with the women in the lithotomy position.…”

Our knowledge has seen an increase in recent years of continuing pust-partum injury to the pelvic-floor organs, mostly the anal sphincter. Research awareness on the consequences of normal vaginal and assisted vaginal deliveries and the diagnosis of anal sphincter damage. In this article, we will review an assessment of the anal sphincter using transvaginal ultrasound examination in female patients. In addition, we will describe the advantage of using transvaginal transducer to observe the structure of die anai sphincter. We believe that die transvaginal approach is the best available method of diagnosis and follow-up of die anal sphincters. It is easier for the examiner, offers a high accuracy and efficiency, and is much more satisfactory' for patients.

Endorectal ultrasound (ERUS) has become an acknowledged technique for imaging anal sphincters, rectum and pelvic floor in the patients with different kinds of anorectal diseases. ERUS can accurately depict internal sphincter (IS) and external sphincter (ES). Therefore, it is valuable in the diagnosis of faecal incontinence and perianal fistulae. Besides, it is reliable for staging rectal tumors, even after neoadjuvant therapy, and is widely used in the surveillance of rectal cancer patients. The paper mainly reviews the indications and application of ERUS in clinical practice, and some new developments of ERUS.
