BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an alternative for the treatment of unresectable hepatic tumors. Tumors beneath the diaphragmatic dome may be difficult to access by laparoscopy. In these cases, a transthoracic transdiaphragmatic approach for delivering RFA can be used.
METHODS: Three patients with hepatic metastatic disease were treated using a transthoracic transdiaphragmatic approach to deliver RFA therapy for tumors in liver segments 7 and 8. The patients underwent thoracoscopy. The tumors were identified using transdiaphragmatic ultrasound, and transthoracic transdiaphragmatic RFA (TTRFA) was performed.
RESULTS: In three patients, TTRFA was successfully used to ablate five lesions. There were no perioperative complications, blood loss was minimal,and postoperative hospital stays ranged from 2 to 8 days. There were no recurrences during a follow-up period of 4 to 20 months.
CONCLUSIONS: TTRFA is a viable alternative for hepatic tumors located beneath the dome of the diaphragm that are difficult to access by laparoscopy.
