title: [Use of ultrasonography in surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To draw attention to the perspectives of application of ultrasonography in surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Based on their own experience and data in the literature the authors draw attention to contemporary possibilities to use ultrasound in surgery. This concerns in particular the following areas: abdominal sonography, injuries, examination of small areas, peroperative sonography, laparoscopic sonography, intraluminal sonography, Dopplerometric examination of the vessels, use during transplantations and in neurosurgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  While urologists use sonographic examinations commonly, only a small percentage of surgeons are familiar with this method. The authors explain the necessity of greater involvement of surgeons in this area which is consistent with the development of surgery and trends abroad.
