Introduction: Anal disease encompasses various disorders including sphincter defects, anorectal fistulas and

Materials and methods: 56 patients underwent radial EUS examination, from March 2015 to March 2022. No sedation

Results: Mean age was 42, 4 years, 71.42% were female. The main clinical indication of anal EUS was the evaluation
