Abstract
Intraoperative ultrasonic examination is now commonly used in many fields of surgery, i.e. neurosurgery, heart, hepatic, biliary, pancreatic, urologic and vascular surgery. In the field of hepatic surgery, intraoperative ultrasonic examination is especially useful, because the ductal structures and small tumors in the liver are neither visible nor palpable from its surface. With ultrasound, these structures are visible and even more clearly seen with intraoperative than with external scanning. Furthermore, if ultrasonically guided puncture is carried out intraoperatively, the operative procedure itself becomes simpler and a more accurate radical resection of the liver can be performed. In our institute, intraoperative ultrasonic examination and ultrasonically guided puncture are now indispensable for hepatectomy, especially in the small hepatocellular carcinoma associated with liver cirrhosis.
