B‐scan ultrasonography is being performed with a newly developed hand‐held scanner during retrobulbar tumor surgery. We believe that it is a valuable aid in the localization and the removal of these tumors. The instrument may be directly inserted into the surgical wound, permitting otherwise unobtainable views of the lesion and of the adjacent structures.
