title: [Applications of laparoscopic ultrasound in gynecological surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the application value of laparoscopic ultrasonography (LUS) in gynecological surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective analyses were performed for 52 cases undergoing LUS during laparoscopic extirpation/excision of gynecological tumors. Aloka 7.5-MHz laparoscopic probe was used to detect the residual lesions during laparoscopic operations. The findings of LUS were compared with those of preoperative transvaginal ultrasound and postoperative pathohistological examinations.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Preoperative diagnoses were corrected by LUS in 9 cases. And 34 residual lesions located by LUS were successfully removed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  With a high detection rate and diagnostic accuracy rate in the diagnosis of gynecologic disease, LUS can locate invisible lesions during laparoscopic operations and provide guidance for radical tumor removal. It is a safe and valuable assistance for gynecologic surgery.
