To evaluate the value of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy in endoscopy negative biopsy patients with rectal lesions.
150 endoscopy negative biopsy result rectal lesions adopted the transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy. Based on whether the patients received contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination or not before the biopsies, all enrolled cases were divided into TRUS guided group and contrast-enhanced TRUS (CE-TRUS) guided group, and the safety and diagnostic performances were analyzed retrospectively.
We obtained adequate specimens in the majority of cases (98.7%,148/150); There were no complications identified in our study. 126 patients received contrast-enhanced TRUS examination before biopsy to evaluate vascular perfusion and necrosis. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and overall accuracy of all biopsies were 89.1%, 100%,100%, 70.4%, and 91.3% respectively; The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy for TRUS-guided biopsy and CE-TRUS guided biopsy were 73.7%, 100%,100%, 50%,79.2% and 92.1%,100%,100%,75%,93.6% separately; The increase in correct diagnoses was significant (p < 0.05) between TRUS guided biopsy and CE-TRUS guided biopsy.
TRUS-guided biopsy is a reliable procedure that can be augmented by endoscopic biopsy techniques if the biopsy yields negative results. CE-TRUS might assist in the location of the biopsy and decrease sampling errors.
评估经直肠超声(TRUS)引导下活检在经内镜阴性活检的直肠病变患者中的价值。
对 150 例经内镜阴性活检结果的直肠病变患者采用经直肠超声引导下活检。根据患者在活检前是否接受增强超声检查,将所有入组病例分为 TRUS 引导组和增强 TRUS(CE-TRUS)引导组,回顾性分析其安全性和诊断性能。
我们获得了大多数情况下(98.7%,148/150)的充足标本;研究中未发现任何并发症。126 例患者在活检前接受了增强 TRUS 检查,以评估血管灌注和坏死情况。所有活检的敏感性、特异性、PPV、NPV 和总准确性分别为 89.1%、100%、100%、70.4%和 91.3%;TRUS 引导活检和 CE-TRUS 引导活检的敏感性、特异性、PPV、NPV 和准确性分别为 73.7%、100%、100%、50%和 79.2%、100%、100%、75%和 93.6%;TRUS 引导活检和 CE-TRUS 引导活检之间的正确诊断率显著增加(p<0.05)。
TRUS 引导活检是一种可靠的方法,如果活检结果为阴性,可以结合内镜活检技术进行。CE-TRUS 可能有助于活检部位的定位,减少采样误差。
