title: The use of a Doppler probe in laparoscopic surgery.
abstract: The use of a doppler probe, specially designed for use in laparoscopic surgery is described. The doppler probe is easy to use and fits through a 5 mm laparoscopic port. It facilitates the identification of vascular structures and has been an aid in performing laparoscopic varicocele ligations, pelvic lymph node dissections, and cholecystectomies.
