The scanning procedure and the ultrasound-anatomy of the liver, gall-bladder, bile ducts and pancreas are presented. Ten consecutive patients referred for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were scanned through a 10/11 mm trocar inserted periumbilically. In two cases concrements in the bile ducts were found peroperatively. The flexible-tip enables operator steering of the transducer which ensures an optimal acoustic contact. Colour and spectral Doppler were frequently used to identify vascular structures. We conclude that a flexible-tip laparoscopic ultrasound-scanner provides valuable assistance in abdominal laparoscopic procedures, and may substitute the palpation of the abdominal organs in laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
