BMJ open·2025

Repeat radiofrequency-assisted hepatic resection is a safe and effective treatment for recurrent liver cancer. This procedure increases the likelihood of successful curative resections for patients with recurring liver tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Advances in surgical techniques enable repeat hepatic resections for recurrent liver cancer.
  • Repeat resections offer survival benefits for patients with primary or secondary liver malignancies.
  • Radiofrequency-assisted resection is a valuable technique for repeat liver surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeat radiofrequency-assisted hepatic resection.
  • To determine the utility of radiofrequency-assisted resection in managing recurrent liver cancer.
  • To assess the feasibility of repeat curative resections for liver cancer recurrence.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 264 hepatic resections in 218 patients.

Application of Laparoscopic Hepatectomy Combined with Intraoperative Microwave Ablation in Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis

Published on: March 3, 2023

  • Analysis of a subset of 24 patients undergoing repeat hepatic resections for recurrent disease.
  • Focus on non-anatomical resections, primarily metastasectomy.

    • Main Results:

    • 54 hepatic resections (initial, second, third) were performed in 24 patients.
    • No post-operative deaths, bile leaks, or liver failure were reported.
    • High rates of suitability for repeat resection: 50% after initial and 43% after second resection.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiofrequency-assisted repeat hepatic resection is a safe surgical option.
    • The technique enhances the potential for curative repeat resections in recurrent liver cancer.
    • This approach may expand treatment options for patients with liver cancer recurrence.
