Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation using a sector ultrasonic probe for hepatocelular carcinoma on the liver surface

Abstract

Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation is considered first-line therapy especially for liver cancer on the liver surface and located in the subphrenic area. We have recently used a sector ultrasonic probe for laparoscopic treatement with a guiding tract to obtain accurate ablation of targeting HCC nodule.
