N2 - Intraoperative imaging performed by a video laparoscope is the gold standard during laparoscopic resections of tumors in urology. In contrast to ultrasound, laparoscopes cannot provide the surgeon with crucial information that could improve surgical outcome. Therefore, we developed a new concept for ultrasound imaging through the back of a supine patient during laparoscopic interventions. In this article we present a mock-up system to answer initial questions that were raised by the concept. The results of the performed experiments show that the concept is feasible.
