One of the most valuable tips that I feel I can give to surgeons in training is to learn how to perform an ultrasound examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important that the surgeon himself perform the ultrasound examination, as an integral part of the patient's clinical examination. Many reasons for doing it: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 It is possible to view the living viscera, rather than simply consulting static photographs of them; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The surgeon, unlike the radiologist, has visited the patient and can compare in real time what she\/he observes by ultrasound scanning with what she\/he observed during the clinical examination; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The surgeon does not perform a generic ultrasound examination, but uses the ultrasound scanning to deepen the clinical diagnosis and look for signs in the patient that confirm or deny her\/his diagnostic suspicions, according to what emerged during the clinical examination; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Performing the ultrasound examination by moving the probe and interpreting the images that change on the screen in real time, develops an essential skill in the surgeon: that of recreating in his mind a three-dimensional image of the inside of his patient's body. This ability can be transferred to reading a CT scan, to the interpretation of radiological images and, ultimately, to the concept phase of a laparoscopic surgical operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
