Summary
Digital rectal examination is an act clinically performed daily by physicians and surgeons. It remains the key diagnostic test and directs the therapeutic management of cancer of the lower and middle rectum. It can be done in two main positions: lateral decubitus, and supine. However, no randomized study in colorectal surgery is not interested in evaluating the best position to perform a full rectal exam.
