A dedicated 8-MHz intraoperative scanning probe was used in 42 patients who underwent exploratory abdominal surgery. A variety of pathologic processes involving the liver, pancreas, bowel, and biliary and genitourinary systems were evaluated. Sonographic studies were evaluated to determine if they added new information (20 patients, 47.6 per cent), confirmed known information (20 patients, 47.6 per cent), or provided false information (two patients, 4.8 per cent). Preliminary experience with a specially developed transducer suggests that its design avoids many of the difficulties encountered with other transducers employed for this technique. Intraoperative sonography has, in many instances, the potential to simplify surgery, shorten operating time, and modify the type of surgical procedure performed.
42例接受腹部探查手术的患者使用了专用的8兆赫术中扫描探头。对涉及肝脏、胰腺、肠道以及胆道和泌尿生殖系统的多种病理过程进行了评估。对超声检查结果进行评估，以确定其是否增加了新信息（20例患者，47.6%）、证实了已知信息（20例患者，47.6%）或提供了错误信息（2例患者，4.8%）。对一种专门研制的换能器的初步经验表明，其设计避免了该技术使用的其他换能器所遇到的许多困难。在许多情况下，术中超声检查有可能简化手术、缩短手术时间并改变所施行的手术方式。
