Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the application of partial costectomy and costophrenic angle closure (PCCAC) and perioperative management in the treatment of liver tumor by high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
METHODSThe clinical data of 69 patients with liver tumor underwent HIFU within the recent four years were retrospectively reviewed.
RESULTS92.8% of these 69 liver tumor patients had had concomitant diseases and 13.0% of them developed postoperative complications without anyone died. There was no significant postoperative dysfunctions of kidney or lung as compared with the preoperative ones (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONIn the treatment of liver tumor by HIFU, PCCAC, as an auxillary means, giving few complications and little harmful effects on respiratory physiology, is highly safe.
