title: Intraoperative ultrasound of the kidney.
abstract: Intraoperative ultrasound is a useful method of identifying renal masses during partial nephrectomy. It can be used to locate primary lesions, identify satellite lesions, assess for peritumoral vascularity and venous invasion. As nephron-sparing surgery becomes more widespread, intraoperative ultrasound of the kidneys will become more commonplace.
