ABSTRACT
Objective To sum up the techniques of radiofrequency ablation assisted laparoscopic liver resection .Methods A ret-rospective analysis was done based on the clinical data of 16 patients undergone radiofrequency ablation assisted laparoscopic liver resection from July 1 ,2011 to July 30 ,2012 .Results Sixteen patients were all received successful total laparoscopic liver resection . Anatomical liver resection was carried out on 5 patients including 2 left hemihepatectomy ,2 left lateral segmentectomy ,1 right pos-terior lobectomy ,and 11 patients underwent nonanatomical hepatectomy .None was transected under regional hepatic blood inflow occlusion .The mean operation time was 125 minutes(range 35-335 minutes) ,mean blood loss 310 mL(range 20~1 100 mL) ,and mean hospital stay 9 days(range 5 to 16 days) .No operation death and postoperative complications occurred .The patients were fol-lowed up for 2 to 12 months ,1 recurrence was found in patients with Ⅶ segment hepatocellular carcinoma 60 day after operation . Conclusion The application of radiofrequency ablation assisted laparoscopic liver resection can effectively control the resection mar-gin hepatic blood inflow to ensure the success of operation and reduction of complications .
