Intraoperative ultrasonography enhances surgical decision-making in abdominal procedures, particularly for liver, pancreatic, and gastrointestinal diseases. This safe and reproducible imaging technique is becoming essential in both open and minimally invasive surgeries.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Imaging
  • Medical Technology
  • Diagnostic Ultrasound

Background:

  • Intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) use surged with advanced high-frequency transducers.
  • This review covers IOUS applications in open and laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the applications of intraoperative ultrasonography in abdominal surgery.
  • To highlight the impact of IOUS on surgical strategy and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of Medline database.
  • Inclusion of all relevant papers identified in the search.

Main Results:

  • IOUS influences surgical strategy in up to 50% of liver resections.

  • It is highly sensitive for detecting occult hepatic metastases during colorectal surgery.
  • IOUS aids in localizing islet cell tumors and assessing pancreatic adenocarcinoma resectability.
  • Potential roles in staging laparoscopy and managing kidney/gastrointestinal diseases were noted.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative ultrasonography is a safe, reproducible, and essential tool for hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery.
    • Advancements in laparoscopic probes are expanding IOUS utility in minimal access surgery.
