Abstract:
Ultrasound-guided, laser-induced thermocoagulation with Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) was performed in a child with metastatic gastrinoma disease. The emitted laser energy to coagulate a radius of 15-20 mm of metastatic liver tissue was 4 W with a duration time of 300 s. Marked reduction of gastrin was observed after interstitial laser hyperthermia.
