Abstract:
Forty eight patients with cervical cancer underwent cystoscopy, computed tomography and transrectal and transvaginal ultrasonography. Transrectal ultrasonography was as accurate as computed tomography in the evaluation of the bladder wall invasion in cervical cancer. Most patients with bullous edema in cystoscopy appeared to have invasive lesions in transrectal ultrasonography. Transrectal ultrasonography was superior to transvaginal one in the evaluation of the posterior well of the bladder. In conclusion. transrectal ultrasonography is an another good diagnostic method for the evaluation of the bladder wall invasion in cervical cancer.
