title: [Anatomical hepatic resection using radiofrequency thermoablation in the treatment of primary or secondary liver tumors].
abstract: Radiofrequency thermoablation (RFA) in performing parenchymal liver section has been tested. Eleven patients with primary cancer or colorectal cancer metastasis underwent anatomical major liver resection after vascular control. Parenchymal section was performed by knife after coagulative necrosis. No deaths, clinical or technical complications or blood losses occurred. Such technique is feasible and effective.
