[Ultrasonic study in thoracoscopic operations].
Intraoperative ultrasound diagnosis (IOUSD) was made in several thoracoscopic interventions in 15 patients: diagnostic thoracoscopies (3) in patients with lymphogranulomatosis, carcinoid and peripheral lung cancer, enucleation and atypical resection of the lung (4) in patients with hamartochondromas, in excision of lung cyst (1), in removal of foreign body of the lung (1), in removal of celomic cysts (2) and in ablation of neurofibroma of the mediastinum (1), in atypical resection of the lung and enucleation of tuberculomas (2). Video thoracoscopy in combination with intraoperative ultrasound examination provides possibility for precisional diagnosis of focal disease of the lung and mediastinal organs, including local masses of small sizes, and is rather informative method of diagnosis. IOUSD allows to define the diagnosis more exactly and to determine the extent of pathological process, to prevent complications and locate intraparenchymal masses and foreign bodies in lung tissues, and thus enables to complete operation without thoracotomy.
