Preliminary study on the value of laparoscopic ultrasound in urinary laparoscopic surgery / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of laparoscopic uItrasonography ( LUS) in u-rinary laparoscopic surgery .Methods In 6 cases of urological laparoscopic surgery , laparoscopic ultra-sound examination were taken , including 3 cases of simple renal cysts , 1 case of adrenal pheochromocyto-ma, 2 cases of hamartoma , were excised under the LUS guidance and the results were compared with the traditional simple laparoscopic surgery .Results With laparoscopic uItrasonography guidance , the bounda-ry and blood supply of cyst or tumor could be shown more clearly compared with trans -abdominal ultrasound . We could differ the tumors from dilated pelvis and renal calices , So the damage to the collecting system and renal blood vessels were avoided .With LUS guidance , tumors were excised more completely , so that re-mained tumor tissues would be avoided and normal renal tissues would be protected .Conclusion LUS may provide more precise surgical information and may play an important role guiding laparoscopic operation in urinary surgery .
