[Ultrasound in surgery--value and dangers of a new development].
The value of US in enlarging the spectrum of diagnostic examination has been recognized. This also true for surgery in elective as well as emergency and intraoperative situations. Problems with US may arise when used by surgeons who do not have time enough for qualified training in this field due to intensive operation schedules or in cases where a 24-h US service is unavailable. Intensive education in diagnostic US for surgeons can help to avert this problem.
