title: [Possibilities of the ultrasonic method of examination in identifying large lesions of the abdominal cavity and small pelvis organs].
abstract: Analysis was made of 13201 ultrasonic studies (USS) of abdominal and small pelvic organs in 5500 patients admitted to the therapeutic department of the multiple-discipline hospital to identify sizable injuries. As many as 176 sizable injuries to the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, retroperitoneal space and other organs were recognized. Of these, 52 injuries appeared malignant. Fifty-eight sizable injuries including 12 malignant ones had been diagnosed at the preclinical stage. The prophylactic USS of the abdominal cavity should as minimum include USS of the liver and kidneys with adjacent tissues. The USS of the pancreas should be carried out provided the patient is suspected of having an organ injury. The internal sex organs of the women, the prostate and urinary bladder should be examined if indicated by proper specialists.
