Percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) of the liver is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes high frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat and induce tumor necrosis. MWA has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment option for primary and metastatic liver tumors. The treatment of liver dome lesions can present a technical challenge due to the proximity of the hepatic dome to the diaphragm and lung parenchyma. In this report, we present a case of diaphragmatic injury and subsequent empyema following MWA of a liver dome lesion.
经皮肝微波消融术(MWA)是一种微创手术,利用高频电磁波产生热量并诱导肿瘤坏死。MWA已被证明是治疗原发性和转移性肝肿瘤的一种安全有效的选择。由于肝顶部靠近膈肌和肺实质,肝顶部病变的治疗可能面临技术挑战。在本报告中,我们介绍了一例肝顶部病变微波消融术后发生膈肌损伤及随后并发脓胸的病例。
