    Summary: Ultrasound guidance of liver surgery is a very sophisticated approach that permits the performance of otherwise unfeasible operations, discloses the true extent of tumors, increases the indications for hepatectomy, and renders surgery safer. Despite this, it has remained relatively neglected in the literature over the past two decades, during which time much progress has been achieved. This is the first atlas on the subject, and it is comprehensive in scope. The state of the art in the use of ultrasound for resection guidance is carefully documented, and new techniques for exploration of the biliary tract and facilitation of transplant surgery are presented. Further important topics include the role of ultrasound in laparoscopic approaches, the use of contrast agents for diagnosis and staging, and developments in the planning of surgical strategy. The editor is a leading authority whose group has been responsible for a variety of advances in the field. He has brought together other experts whose aim throughout is to provide clear information and guidance on the optimal use of ultrasound when performing liver surgery. This atlas is intended especially for hepatobiliary surgeons but will also be of considerable value for general surgeons.

    This study is based on a retrospective analysis of 144 autopsied cases of rheumatic heart disease. Majority of cases (79%) were chronic and 21% were acute in nature. The mortality was high and was maximum below the age of 30 years. The males predominated over females. A high incidence of organic tricuspid valve involvement was observed (45.8%). Tricuspid stenosis was observed in 3 cases. Latter was associated with aortic and mitral valve involvement. Mitral stenosis was severe in all the three cases. Criteria, both gross and microscopic for the involvement of the tricuspid valve have been described. Involvement of mitral valve either singly or in combination with the other valves, emerged to be the commonest. Changes observed in the lungs in these cases have been dealth with briefly. Pulmonary vascular changes were usually severe, particularly in the juvenile age group.
