Radiofrequency-Assisted Liver Resection: Higher Incidence of Infectious Complications?

Original language description

To evaluate clinical experience with radiofrequency (RF)- assisted liver resection in non-cirrhotic and non-cholestatic patients with metastatic liver disease. Methods: A group of consecutive patients who underwent RF-assisted liver resection for metastatic liver disease was prospectively followed. Between July 2005 and April 2008, 95 liver RF-assisted liver resections were performed, 71 of them for metastatic liver disease. The mean hospital stay was 14 (range 5-40) days. The mean operation time was 141 (range 64-233) minutes. The mean duration of RF coagulation was 10 (range 9-12) minutes. A total of 37 complications in 24 (33%) patients were recorded, including 12 (16,9%) infected collections in resection line that had to be drained percutaneously.The 30-day postoperative mortality was zero. This study indicates that RF-assisted resection may have a benefit in decreasing peroperative blood loss and the number of blood transfusions. Nevertheless, an increased incidence of infectious
