Surgery an essentially manual exercise in its early days, has
progressively grown richer in complementary techniques helping the
surgeon to perfect his movements and increase efficiency. This is
particularly the case with digestive surgery, which has been
thoroughly transformed by radiology, endoscopy and extemporaneous
examinations effected during surgical intervention. Such methods
make it possible for surgeons to develop subtle nuances in
operative techniques and to specify indi cations more and more
precisely. Ultrasonography must now be included among such
techniques. It supplements them and can sometimes even replace
them. For these reasons, this work devoted to the use of ultrasound
by the surgeon during surgical intervention is of great interest.
Two general conditions had to be met before ultrasonography could
be em ployed in abdominal surgery: the method and apparatus had to
be adapted to its surgical utilization, and the surgeon had to
adapt to a nonsurgical technique. The first condition has been
fulfilled for all purposes. Intraoperative sonograms can be
generated at a very high rate and are proving to be more and more
useful. The miniaturization of probes permits their application
almost everywhere with opti mal results. Of course, the costs are
still high, but one can expect them to decrease.
