Summary		Tako pri nas kot v razvitem svetu je rektalni karcinom vse pogostejši. Za izbiro najustreznejše vrste zdravljenja je potrebna čimbolj natančna določitev lokalne razširjenosti bolezni. Ob tem uporabljamo različne diagnostične metode, katerih natančnost primerjamo s histopatološko določenim stadijem. V prispevku predstavljamo intrarektalni ultrazvok rektuma kot najnatančnejšo, relativno poceni in v rokah izkušenega preiskovalca enostavno metodo, ki smo jo ponovno začeli rutinsko uporabljati na našem oddelku pri diagnostični obravnavi bolnikov z rektalnim karcinomom.
