Abstract:
Objective To assess the safety and effectiveness of artificial ascites assisted thermal ablation for hepatic tumors adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract in patients with a history of abdominal surgery . Methods Thirty‐two patients (33 lesions located adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract) with a history of abdominal surgery were included in the study . Method ① :normal saline was injected into abdominal cavity to form water insulation band between liver and gastrointestinal tract . Method② :normal saline was injected with appropriate pressure to form local water insulation band between the liver and gastrointestinal tract . Method③ :normal saline was injected continuously at the interval between liver and gastrointestinal tract to flush away heat energy caused by ablation . All the patients were checked for gastrointestinal tract injury after ablation . During one month after ablation ,CT /MR was performed to evaluate whether the lesions were completely ablated . Results Respectively ,the numbers of lesion received method ① ,② and ③ were 27(81 .8% ) ,4(12 .1% ) and 2(6 .1% ) ,while the usage of normal saline were 400~2 000 ml ,600~800 ml and 1 000~1 500 ml . No gastrointestinal tract injury occurred . CT/MR scan during one month after ablation showed that all the 33 lesions had been completely ablated . Conclusions In patients with a history of abdominal surgery ,artificial ascites is a safe and effective method in assistance of thermal ablation for hepatic tumors adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract .
