Advantages of ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture

Nov 29, 2022

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture is a minimally invasive surgery under the guidance of real-time ultrasound image, which uses puncture needle instead of scalpel. The whole process of puncture is visible, which can avoid damage to important structures and complications caused by repeated puncture. After the operation, there is only one needle eye trace at the puncture point on the body surface, which can be healed in a few days, so its advantages are safe, minimally invasive and effective. In addition, the ultrasound-guided operation has no X-ray radiation, simple operation and low cost, and patients can complete it in different occasions such as outpatient, bedside, or operating room

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture technique is to accurately introduce the puncture needle into the target under real-time ultrasonic guidance or monitoring, so as to achieve the purpose of further diagnosis or treatment. This technique is the most basic and core technique of interventional ultrasound. After puncture, operations such as biopsy, aspiration, intubation, drug injection and ablation can be completed.

With the emergence of various new ultrasound technologies, such as enhanced ultrasound, three-dimensional imaging and image fusion, the accuracy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture have been greatly improved, and it has become one of the most important supporting technologies in the field of minimally invasive, and has been increasingly widely used in clinical applications.
