Serious Complications of CT-guided Microwave Ablation for Hepatic Segment Ⅸ Tumors and Treatment Strategies
Objective To summarize the serious complications of CT-guided microwave ablation of Ⅸ tumors in the liver and related prevention and treatment strategies.Methods A retrospective statistical analysis was conducted on 104 severe complications in patients with hepatic Segment Ⅸ tumors who underwent CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation in the Department of Hepatobi-liary and Pancreatic Surgery of our hospital from October 2013 to July 2023.Results The surgical success rate of the whole group was 100%.Postoperative complications were massive pleural effusion and liquid pneumothorax in 1 case,abdominal hemorrhage in 1 case,liver abscess in 1 case,ablation needle rupture in 1 case,delayed biliary tract injury in 1 case,and tumor-duodenal fistula in 1 case.The incidence of serious complications was 6.7%,and no deathoccurred during periablation.Conclusion CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for tumors in hepatic segment Ⅸ was associated with a low incidence of serious complications,indicating that the procedure was both safe and feasible.
