  Objective: Image-guided microwave coagulation therapy as a minimally invasive technique has been widely used for the treatment of small HCC in patients who have high surgical risks. However, tumor residual after thermal albation is still the main reason of HCC recurrence. Laparoscopic resection of the tumor after thermal ablation will take advantage of reducing the risk of tumor residual without increasing the risk of hepatic failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of this technique. Methods: From 2008 to 2010, 18 patients (15 men and 3 women; age range, 35-77 years) with HCC and associated severe liver cirrhosis underwent microwave coagulation therapy combined with laparoscopic liver resection. Inclusion criteria were solitary, peripheral or subcapsular HCC lesions localised to the left or anterior right segments; lesion size less than 4 cm; Child-Pu.. View More»
