Four examples are given to demonstrate the problems, methods and advantages of intra-operative sonography for intra-spinal tumours. The value of intra-operative sonography for localising the tumours and for judging their extent is demonstrated and related to other imaging methods, such as myelography, CT and MR.

The standardization of preoperative imaging in primary hyperparathyroidism is one of the current challenges of endocrine surgery. A correct localization of the hypersecretory gland by neck ultrasound and 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy are not sufficiently sensitive in some cases. In recent years, CT-4D, 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT, and radio-guided parathyroidectomy have come into common use.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors that arise from interstitial cells of Cajal. Due to vague presentation, location and confusing imaging studies, they tend to mimic gynaecological tumors. They usually diagnosed intra-operative and histopathology followed by tumor specific receptors such as KIT, CD34, CD 117 and DOG 1 are mainstay of diagnosis of GIST.

Background And Aims: Pilonidal sinus surgery (PSS) can be done with local anaesthetic infiltration, spinal anaesthesia, or general anaesthesia (GA). Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is used for peri-operative analgesia. Erector spinae muscles extend to the sacral region, so it can provide post-operative analgesia in PSS.

Article Synopsis
- *Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the primary diagnostic method for IAD, but its accuracy can be compromised by artifacts that lead to misinterpretation.
- *In a case involving a 55-year-old man undergoing surgery, TEE suggested IAD based on the presence of an intimal dissection flap, but this was not confirmed by computed tomographic angiography, highlighting the diagnostic challenges in complex surgical situations.
Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for gallbladder stones, but occasionally needs to be converted to open surgery due to intra-operative difficulties, with conversion rates ranging from 1% to 13%.
- A study conducted in India analyzed factors such as age, gender, and ultrasound findings in 93 gallstone patients to predict the likelihood of needing this conversion.
- Key predictors for conversion included the presence of acute cholecystitis, multiple previous gallbladder attacks, and certain ultrasound results indicating a contracted gallbladder.
