摘要
The use of the microwave tissue coagulator was studied on 20 consecutive elective hepatic resections carried out for symptomatic hepatocellular carcinoma with liver cirrhosis. The mean operative blood loss (excluding one patient with hepatic vein injury) was 1132 mL. Five patients required no blood transfusion. The average time taken to coagulate the anticipated liver transection plane was less than 15 min. Apart from the complications similar to those occurring in hepatic resections for cirrhotic patients, higher incidences of intra-abdominal sepsis (20%), sympathetic pleural effusion in the absence of chest or intra-abdominal sepsis (20%), and persistent fever lasting more than 1 week (40%) were encountered. It was considered that these complications were related to the coagulated tissue present in the liver remnants (mean depth of tissue coagulation = 3.8 mm) and concluded that although the hospital mortality rate of 10% and the mean operative blood loss of 1132 mL were acceptably low, microwave liver surgery carried a high morbidity rate which is a drawback in major hepatic resectional surgery.
