Abstract:
Endosonography of the colon is a combination of coloscopy and sonography. Adenomas of the colon can be differentiated from carcinomas with the exception of focal carcinomas. This is a selection criterion for the laparoscopic segment resection of sessile adenomas. In the case of polyposis coli transformations into an infiltrating carcinoma can be seen. Colitis ulcerosa and colitis Crohn can be discriminated according to the different wall layer pattern, resulting in indications for the ileoanal pouch.
