Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Liver tumors are treated with resection and thermal ablation, with virtual planning tools available.
  • Image-guided surgery aims to improve accuracy but faces challenges with soft tissue deformation.
  • Adapting preoperative plans to intraoperative conditions using imaging and biomechanical models is an active research area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic radiofrequency ablation (SRFA) for liver tumors.
  • To assess the feasibility of precise intraoperative guidance for ablation procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized stereotactic conditions, including patient immobilization and respiratory triggering, for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation.
  • Employed intraoperative imaging for accurate probe positioning and real-time guidance.

Published on: September 27, 2024

  • Transferred preoperative virtual ablation plans directly to the operative field.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully treated 350 patients with primary and secondary liver tumors using SRFA.
    • Achieved high accuracy in probe positioning, enabling precise plan transfer.
    • Demonstrated low complication rates.

    Conclusions:

    • SRFA is a highly accurate method for liver tumor ablation.
    • SRFA shows comparable local recurrence and survival rates to conventional surgery.
    • SRFA presents an attractive alternative treatment for liver tumors due to its safety profile.
