Hepatobiliary Surgery

Reach critical information and compensate for no haptic feedback with active imaging

Intraoperative ultrasound can assist in identifying 10-25%  more hepatic lesions than with preoperative imaging alone.* Use intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) to support liver resections, distal pancreatectomies, and more. iUS helps to adapt surgical plans, assess progress, and perform organ-sparing procedures. The active imaging provides real-time information to understand complex anatomical variations, tumor locations, and invasion of vasculature, as well as help define an adequate margin of rection. At the end of the procedure, active imaging can provide certainty and help confirm results.

Myomectomy

Help minimize residual myomas

Studies show that 63% of myomas found during laparoscopic myomectomy are submucosal or intramural and therefore not seen with endoscopes¹, and that up to 10% of uterine myomas are not detected on preoperative transvaginal ultrasonography². Real-time intraoperative ultrasound helps you find hidden myomas and detect unknown myomas. The Rob12C4 transducer offers excellent, real-time imaging and a wide field of view to help minimize residual myomas.
