[Hepatic resection guided by B-mode ultrasonography].
From December 1987 to July, 1988, ultrasonically guided hepatic resection was performed for primary liver cancer in 12 cases and benign liver tumor in 11 cases. No patient died on table and in 30 days after the operation. Among postoperative complications were hepatic coma in one case, pleural effusions in 3 and bile leaks in 2. Our results showed that the intraoperative B-mode ultrasound could not only demonstrate the number, size and boundary of the lesions but also locate the course of the intrahepatic conduit system and its 3-dimensional relation with the lesions. It was, therefore, very helpful in dealing with the intrahepatic blood vessels and biliary ducts.
