Liver Resection Using Saline-Linked Radiofrequency Technology in an Infant with Congenital Hepatoblastoma
We herein report a case of giant congenital hepatoblastoma in a 3-month-old male treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and hepatic resection. After considerable reduction of the tumor with chemotherapy, a right bloodless hemihepatectomy using saline-linked radiofrequency technology (SLRT) and withou...

description | We herein report a case of giant congenital hepatoblastoma in a 3-month-old male treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and hepatic resection. After considerable reduction of the tumor with chemotherapy, a right bloodless hemihepatectomy using saline-linked radiofrequency technology (SLRT) and without clamping of the hepatic pedicle was performed. Intraoperative blood loss was minimal, and consequently, no blood transfusions were required. The surgery lasted 140 min, and SLRT was used for a total of 60 min. No complications were observed during or after the surgery. In conclusion, congenital hepatoblastoma is a very rare cancer for which surgery is an essential therapeutic step, and in our presented case, we showed that SLRT allowed for a safe and effective bloodless liver resection. |
