ABSTRACT

Objective. To show our experience of pelvic biopsies of gynecological origin guided by transrectal ultrasound carried out in the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (INCan) and know the usefulness this procedure in the taking of therapeutic decisions.
Material and methods. 10 patients referred to ultrasound for transrectal biopsy of gynecological injuries in the months of September to November 2010. Statistical management of data such as age, diagnosis, clinical stage, pre-treatment, findings through transrectal ultrasound, biopsy, and subsequent management as well as a review of the procedure.
Results. Of the 10 patients including 9 were amended in subsequent treatment according to the histopathology result. None present complications and in all cases the material obtained was sufficient for diagnosis.
Conclusions. The biopsy guided by transrectal ultrasound in pelvic masses is useful, secure and can be considered in assessing the possible recurrence of pelvic cancer and for verification of primary advanced cancer.
