Radiofrequency-assisted liver resection using the Habib 4X device offers a safe and effective alternative for treating liver tumors. This innovative technique may reduce procedure time and hospital stays for patients undergoing liver resection.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques
  • Radiofrequency ablation and resection

Background:

  • Surgical resection is the primary curative treatment for liver tumors but involves significant morbidity and mortality.
  • Radiofrequency (RF) technology is increasingly utilized for liver tumor ablation and resection.
  • A novel four-electrode bipolar RF device, Habib 4X, has been developed for clinical use.

Observation:

  • A patient with situs inversus and colorectal liver metastases underwent a left lateral segmentectomy using the Habib 4X device.
  • The procedure involved marking the resection plane 1 cm from the lesion, followed by RF-assisted coagulative desiccation and scalpel division.
  • Intraoperative ultrasound guided the resection process.

Findings:

  • The total procedure time was 105 minutes, with 35 minutes for resection.
  • Minimal blood loss (100 ml) occurred, and no blood transfusions were required.
  • The patient was discharged 10 days post-surgery with no complications and did not require intensive care unit admission.

    • Implications:

    • RF-assisted liver resection with the Habib 4X device appears safe and effective for liver tumor treatment.
    • This technique may offer a faster alternative to conventional RF methods.
    • Reduced procedure time and potential for shorter hospital stays could benefit liver resection patients.
