Abstract
Endosonographic image and surgical therapy of a retrorectal bowel duplication are described. Compared with standard investigations, the most accurate information about a retrorectal mass in a 35-year-old woman could be obtained by means of endorectal ultrasound. Guided by endorectal ultrasound, the mass was excised using a transanal-transrectal approach, and Kraske's operation could be avoided. Additionally, histopathologic analysis of this rare disease is presented.
