INTERVENTIONAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY

Abstract

S urgeons are usually creative, active and innovators
by nature (To some, they are born sadists). They are
soft at heart but pragmatic and always planning to offer
patients maximum comfort. They love challenges and
improvements in surgical skills and methods. The
surgeons are changing to become scientific artists with
the developments and improvements in understanding
of physiologic and pathologic bases of diseases.
The surgery used to be heroic few centuries ago. It is
minimally invasive today and is likely to be microinvasive
or even non invasive in near future.
Interventional ultrasonography is performance of
various procedures under ultrasound guidance.
Radiological guidance is also required some-times to
complete the procedures. It is a step towards future.
