More Than 400 Hepatectomies Without Intraoperative Cholangiography: Prospective Validation of the Role of Ultrasound

University of Milan·observational·Posted Jan 26, 2011·Updated Jan 26, 2011

In Brief

An observational study evaluating INTRAOPERATIVE CHOLANGIO-ULTRASOUND for Liver Cancer. Completed, enrolled 448 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Liver surgery should be considered an echo-guided procedure to guarantee conservative but radical resections. The investigators describe a further application of intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) for studying the biliary tree during liver surgery with no need for formal cholangiography.
