Abstract
During surgery of colorectal cancer, real time B-mode high resolution ultrasound scanning was employed intraoperatively in 25 consecutive patients free of metastases at preoperative evaluation, to localize hepatic deposits. Results showed that intraoperative ultrasonography is a safe and simple technique providing the surgeon with accurate informations which may affect surgical technique as for -) extended indications for hepatic resection -) reduction of resections oncologically useless -) a more correct staging of resected colorectal cancer -) reduction of false positives at second look guided by CEA elevation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
