SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
• Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is a fundamental tool used in modern hepatic surgery, which can precisely define the liver anatomy and accurately identify target lesions.
• IOUS is one of the key factors to spare hepatic parenchyma without compromising the oncological endpoints.
• IOUS should be performed by the first surgeon with the aim of gathering information that might impact the surgical strategy.
• IOUS is an important tool for staging malignancies, determining resectability, and planning the most adequate procedure.
• Contrast-enhanced IOUS (CEIOUS) is useful in the differential diagnosis of new lesions eventually detected with basic IOUS and can increase its overall sensitivity.
