The authors report six cases of massive lower gastro-intestinal tract haemorrhage, diagnosed by angiography. They emphasize the value of angiography performed on an emergency basis. It is the most reliable diagnostic modality to know before surgery the precise localization of the bleeding point and sometimes its aetiology. The interest and the problems of therapeutic angiography are discussed.

Intra-operative echography provides precise information on anatomy of the liver and accurately locates hepatic tumours, even small ones, thereby improving the operative strategy. It is most useful in biliary surgery for detection and treatment of intrahepatic lithiasis. By displaying undetected hepatic metastases, echography of the liver is of considerable value in surgery of common tumours of the digestive tract.
