Three-dimensional endoanal ultrasonography (3D-EAUS) provides unequalled quality in terms of the anatomical image of the anal canal and sphincter complex. In less than one minute it produces a three-dimensional "cube" that can be manipulated in all spatial dimensions, then archived. In just a few years it has become a new gold standard exploration in proctology. In addition to image quality, 3D-EAUS has the advantage of being easily and rapidly performed, well-tolerated and moderate in cost. For anal incontinence, 3D-EAUS contributes to the identification of sphincter defects. The anatomy of the sphincters can be evaluated spatially. Simple scoring systems with good reproducibility and readily applicable in routine practice can be used to evaluate the "damaged" sphincter volume. For the management of anoperineal suppurations, 3D-EAUS provides information on the fistulous track(s) and on potential collections. These data are crucial as the choice of treatment and its efficacy depend on accurate topographic assessment of the suppuration and the state of the sphincter apparatus.
