This study introduces a novel laparoscopic radiofrequency-assisted liver resection technique. This minimally invasive approach demonstrates feasibility for liver tumor removal with reduced blood loss.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques
  • Radiofrequency Ablation

Background:

  • Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) adoption is limited due to challenges with intraoperative bleeding.
  • Developing safer LLR techniques is crucial for advancing minimally invasive hepatic surgery.

Observation:

  • A novel technique utilizing radiofrequency energy for laparoscopic liver resection was applied.
  • Intraoperative ultrasonography and radiofrequency-assisted coagulative desiccation were performed.
  • The procedure involved creating a necrosed parenchymal band for specimen division.

Findings:

  • A 43-year-old male with a symptomatic hemangioma underwent successful radiofrequency-assisted LLR.
  • Operative time was 300 minutes, with a resection time of 240 minutes.

  • Minimal intraoperative blood loss (75 ml) was recorded, with an uneventful postoperative recovery and discharge on day 6.

    • Implications:

    • Laparoscopic radiofrequency-assisted liver resection is a feasible technique.
    • This method may enhance the safety and applicability of minimally invasive liver surgery.
    • Further experience could lead to wider adoption of LLR in hepatic surgery.
