The sensitivity of US was found to be 100% and 80% for indirect and direct types, respectively. The mean size of the defect was found to be 22 mm (max: 70 mm, min: 6 mm) with US; and 27 mm (max: 50 mm, min: 4 mm) at surgery. The size of defects at US and in surgery were correlated with each other (p = 0.001).
