Objective center dot This study aims to investigate the diagnostic value of transrectal ultrasonography for rectal submucosal lesions. @@@ Methods center dot A retrospective analysis was conducted on 132 patients with rectal submucosal lesions admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to May 2022. All patients underwent colonoscopy, miniprobe endoscopic ultrasonography, and transrectal ultrasonography before surgery, obtaining definitive pathological results. The lesions displayed smooth morphological eminence of the mucosa under a colonoscope. Among the patients, there were 76 males and 56 females, with an average age of 50.6 years. Using pathology as the gold standard, the diagnostic accuracy of transrectal ultrasonography and miniprobe endoscopic ultrasonography for rectal submucosal lesions was calculated, and the difference between the two was compared using the chi-square (chi(2)) test. @@@ Results center dot The overall diagnostic accuracy of transrectal ultrasonography and miniprobe endoscopic ultrasonography for all rectal submucosal lesions was 95.5% and 74.2%, respectively. It was observed that transrectal ultrasonography was superior to miniprobe endoscopic ultrasonography, and the difference was statistically significant (chi(2) = 25.48, P < .05). @@@ Conclusions center dot Transrectal ultrasonography demonstrates high diagnostic value for rectal submucosal lesions and may serve as the preferred choice for their examination.
