Transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasound-guided transperineal core-needle biopsy versus endoscopic forceps biopsy in the diagnosis of complex rectal lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The preoperative pathological diagnosis of rectal lesions is crucial for formulating treatment plans. For subepithelial lesions (SELs) and larger lesions with necrosis of the rectum, endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) cannot provide an accurate pathological diagnosis in most cases. By comparing the efficacy and safety of transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasound-guided transperineal core-needle biopsy (TRCEUS-TP-CNB) and EFB, this study explored the value of TRCEUS-TP-CNB in the diagnosis of complex rectal lesions, such as SELs.

Methods

A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with 32 consecutive patients with complex rectal lesions admitted to our hospital from May 2016 to June 2022. Clinical, ultrasound, and pathological data were collected from these pa
