TL;DR: Previously undetected neoplastic nodules as well as lesions escaping even the most accurate direct examination at surgery, were easily visualized and operative hepatic sonography allowed the detection of an increased number of non-neoplastic intraparenchymal lesions.
Abstract: Intraoperative ultrasonography of the liver was routinely performed during 86 elective surgical procedures for the treatment of primary colorectal malignancies, in search of intrahepatic metastatic deposits. Results were compared to preoperative diagnostic procedures and to direct evaluation of the liver at laparotomy. Different diagnostic modalities showed a definite scatter in the number of reported space-occupying hepatic lesions.
