[Sonography of postoperative complications].
Postoperative complications can be localised and identified via sonography. This is of special interest in haematomas and abscesses situated subfascially or in the true pelvis, where they often produce misleading clinical signs and symptoms. Of equal importance is the detection of an intraperitoneal or subperitoneal haemorrhage and an estimation of its amount, even if it is only a rough estimate. Effective therapy can be instituted as soon as an exact diagnosis has been established.
