Monitoring & Follow-up
Risks
Patient & Prescribing Data
Patients referred for transanal endoscopic microsurgery.
Quality of EUS examinations is determined by operator expertise rather than specialty background.
Clinical Best Practices
- Adhere to standardized protocols for endorectal ultrasound.
- Incorporate flexible instruments in EUS procedures when appropriate.
