The aim of this study was to describe the technique of laparoscopic ultrasonography in six dogs with intrabdominal disease.Investigation of the abdominal cavity was undertakeninitially in each dog with laparoscopy alone. After exploration and visualization of a diseased organ, a 7,5 MHz microconvexultrasound probe wasintroduced into the abdomen through a laparoscopic cannula for videoguided ultrasound examination. Laparoscopic ultrasonography allows core biopsy or needle aspiration to be performed by guiding the needle into non superficial lesions, where videoendoscopic guidance alone is not enough. in addition, Color-Dopplerultrasonography is usefulto examine the vascular pattern to minimize or eliminate complications when a biopsy is performed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the technique of laparoscopic ultrasonography in six dogs with intrabdominal disease.Investigation of the abdominal cavity was undertakeninitially in each dog with laparoscopy alone. After exploration and visualization of a diseased organ, a 7,5 MHz microconvexultrasound probe wasintroduced into the abdomen through a laparoscopic cannula for videoguided ultrasound examination. Laparoscopic ultrasonography allows core biopsy or needle aspiration to be performed by guiding the needle into non superficial lesions, where videoendoscopic guidance alone is not enough. in addition, Color-Dopplerultrasonography is usefulto examine the vascular pattern to minimize or eliminate complications when a biopsy is performed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
