ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the complications of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma,looked forward to improving the safety of the treatment of HIFU.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 165 patients with primary liver cancer treated by High Intensity Focused Ultrasound in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2014 to December 2009,to summarise the complications of this therapeutic method and analysis the related treatment measures.Results HIFU treatment of primary liver cancer common complications included the treatment of skin soft tissue injury (118/165),a transient injury of liver function (83/165),postoperative fever (81/165),self-limiting pleural effusion (42/165) and postoperative pain (33/165);The severe complications included rib fractures(2 cases),organ perforation injury (1 case),Cancer rupture hemorrhage (1 case)and Skin 1Ⅱ(5 cases),Ⅲ(1 case) degree burn;Serious consequences were not caused by the complications which were actively treated.Conclusion The treatment of primary liver cancer by High Intensity Focused Ultrasound has less serious complications and high safety.
