The formations of liver abscess after microwave coagulo-necrotic therapy following reconstructive operation of the biliary tract

Abstract

Microwave coagulo-necrotic Therapy (MCN) has been applied widely to not only hepatocellular carcinoma but also metastatic hepatic carcinoma, as an established form of surgical therapy.
We performed MCN for patients who have a liver metastasis lesion following surgery on bile duct cancer and who have hepatic invasion form gallbladder cancer. The formations of liver abscess were observed one month after MCN. Strong involvement of the choledochojejunostomy were suspected although there direct cause were fistulation with intrahepatic bile ducts.
Care should be exercised in indicating MCN for patients who have undergone a reconstructive operation of the biliary tract.
