How Ablation is performed
Under ultrasound or CT guidance, a microwave or radiofrequency needle is percutaneously inserted into the target lesion in the liver, and heat energy is released in stages to form coagulative necrosis, and the safety margin can be appropriately expanded; biopsy and track ablation can be combined if necessary. Postoperative monitoring of vital signs and liver function, and follow-up imaging to assess the extent, the goal is to control the lesion and preserve functional liver.
