Abstract
The use of intraoperative ultrasound is beneficial for many abdominal surgical procedures. While used for other purposes, intraoperative ultrasound is an essential tool for the hepatobiliary surgeon to localize tumors and define vascular anatomy in the liver and pancreas. It is useful during resection and is essential for all but the most superficial liver tumor ablation. Ablation and biopsy of tumors requires facile use of intraoperative ultrasound guidance techniques to achieve reproducible and effective ablations with minimal chance of incomplete ablation and local tumor recurrence. Ultrasound can be utilized in both open and laparoscopic surgery with the use of a variety of transducers.
