Abstract
Ultrasound is an indispensable tool for the minimally invasive oncologic surgeon. The tactile sense which surgeons rely so much upon in cancer surgery is limited during laparoscopy, but that deficit can be filled, and frankly exceeded, by utilizing laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) techniques. In addition, preoperative endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) provides the clinician with information for staging, delineates anatomic relationships to guide operative planning, and can provide a means for biopsy for tissue diagnosis. This chapter will introduce the application of perioperative and intraoperative ultrasound to the minimally invasive treatment of cancer.
