Effects of CT combined with conventional ultrasound-guided microwave ablation in treatment of patients with hepatic hemangioma
Objective:To observe effects of CT combined with conventional ultrasound-guided microwave ablation in treatment of patients with hepatic hemangioma.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 80 patients with hepatic hemangioma admitted to the hospital from July 2021 to July 2023.According to the random number table method,they were divided into observation group and control group,40 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional ultrasound-guided microwave ablation,while the observation group was combined with CT examination on the basis of that of the control group.The levels of ablation indexes and liver function indexes[alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),total bilirubin(TBIL)]before and after the treatment,the incidence of complications 1 month after the surgery,and the recurrence rate 6 months after the surgery were compared between the two groups.Results:The ablation energy of the observation group was less than that of the control group,the ablation time was shorter than that of the control group,the number of ablation points was less than that of the control group,the complete ablation rate was higher than that of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).7 days after the surgery,the levels of ALT,AST,and TBIL in both groups were lower than before the surgery,but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups(P>0.05).After 6 months of follow-up,there was no recurrence in both groups.Conclusions:CT combined with conventional ultrasound-guided microwave ablation in the treatment of the patients with hepatic hemangioma can improve the levels of ablation indexes.Moreover,it is superior to single conventional ultrasound guided microwave ablation.
