Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) compared to standard assessment techniques for detecting liver lesions in patients undergoing right hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastasis.*
-
- It involved 24 patients and compared results from EUS, computed tomography, and intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS), finding that EUS identified fewer lesions than IOUS and had mixed sensitivity and specificity.*
-
- Ultimately, while EUS offered some benefits in specificity and positive predictive value for certain liver segments, it was not reliable enough for routine use, reaffirming IOUS as the most accurate method for assessing the left liver.*
