    Notes: Abstract Since the introduction of a recent laparoscopic ultrasound (LU), the value of this modality in examining the liver and pancreas has been reported. However, a precise scanning technique of LU has not previously been described. Based on our experience with intraoperative ultrasound during laparotomy, we have developed a technique for complete examination of the entire organs using a rigid LU probe. A 7.5-MHz rigid probe, 10 mm in diameter, was employed. The scanning was performed through three trocar ports: right subcostal, subxiphoid, and umbilical. For the liver, the subcostal scanning provided fundamental transverse views. The subxiphoid and umbilical scanning delineated the areas unable to be imaged by the subcostal scanning. For the pancreas, the subcostal and umbilical scanning demonstrated longitudinal and transverse views, respectively. The subxiphoid scanning enhanced examination of the pancreatic head. Three basic probe maneuvers (advancement-withdrawal, lateral movement, and rotation) and various scanning techniques (contact, probe-standoff, and compression scanning) should be utilized appropriately. With a rigid probe, complete LU examination of the liver and pancreas is possible using these techniques. We believe the present scanning method will help more surgeons learn LU.

    Technique of ultrasound examination during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (1993)

    Notes: Summary Intracorporeal ultrasonography was used as a new method to examine the bile ducts during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A prototype rigid 7.5-MHz ultrasound probe, 10 mm in diameter and 50 cm in length, was introduced during 25 laparoscopic cholecystectomies. A dual scanning technique was developed for complete examination of the bile duct. This entailed transverse scanning via the subxyphoid trocar and longitudinal scanning via the umbilical trocar. The intrahepatic ducts were also visualized by placing the probe on the liver surface. Color Doppler imaging was useful to quickly distinguish the duct from vascular structures. Laparoscopic ultrasonography clearly delineated the bile ducts in all operations except one. The time required for imaging was significantly shorter for ultrasonography than for cholangiography. Our preliminary experience demonstrates that a complete examination of the bile ducts can be performed with intracorporeal ultrasonography in a relatively short period of time.
