Hazards Of Liver Radiofrequency Needle Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation of liver is a minimally invasive surgery, which can even achieve radical treatment for small liver cancer. The main side effects are as follows:

1. The heat generated during radiofrequency ablation can cause damage to other organs, such as skin burn, diaphragm injury and intestinal perforation.

2. It may cause bleeding at the liver puncture site or bleeding under the liver capsule, as well as liver abscess at the treatment site.

3. There is a risk of transfer.

4. Radiofrequency ablation for patients with severe cirrhosis may aggravate liver damage and induce liver failure in severe cases.

5. For tumors larger than 5cm, because the coverage of radiofrequency ablation is not easy to complete and the proportion of residual tumors is relatively high, the purpose of radical treatment cannot be achieved through radiofrequency ablation.
