What is a rectal endoscopic ultrasound?
Rectal endoscopic ultrasound or rectal EUS is a test that allows the healthcare provider to examine the lower gastrointestinal tract for problems in the colon. The rectal EUS combines colonoscopy with ultrasound. A rectal EUS allows your healthcare provider to see higher quality images than a standard ultrasound would produce. During rectal EUS, the soundwaves do not have to pass through skin and muscle to visualize the organs. Rectal EUS can evaluate the rectum and colon, bladder, prostate, and uterus.
Your healthcare provider may recommend a rectal EUS to diagnose and treat gastrointestinal or digestive problems. The procedure is useful for:
- Obtaining biopsies
- Draining cysts
- Evaluating tumors or growths
How is an endoscopic ultrasound performed?
An endoscope, which is a thin lighted tube with a camera at the tip, is inserted into the rectum and advanced to the lower colon.
Is rectal endoscopy painful?
Rectal endoscopy is not painful. Sedation is given during the procedure. Some individuals may experience some cramping afterward, but there should not be pain.
Are you put to sleep for an endoscopic ultrasound?
In most cases, sedation or general anesthesia is given through an intravenous (IV) line, and you will sleep through the procedure.
How long does an endoscopic ultrasound last?
An endoscopic ultrasound takes about 15-30 minutes to complete. After the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area until the sedation has worn off. This may take an hour or so. Afterward, you’ll be released to recover at home. You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure.
What can I expect after an endoscopic ultrasound?
After a rectal EUS, you may feel bloated or experience some gas pains. There may be streaks of blood in your stool for a few days. Most people can return to their normal activities the day after the procedure. You should notify your healthcare provider immediately if:
- You pass out
- Have very bloody or maroon-colored stools
- Have trouble breathing
- Have new or worsening stomach pain
- Are nauseated or vomiting
- Can’t drink fluids
- Can’t pass stools or gas
- Have a fever
How long does it take to recover from an endoscopic ultrasound?
Recovery after a rectal EUS is rapid. You may feel tired the day of the procedure and will want to rest and make sure to drink plenty of fluids. Most people will be able to return to normal activities the day after a rectal EUS.
