Title: Gallbladder needle decompression during radiofrequency ablation of an adjacent liver tumour. Cord-id: s0tvpi6i Document date: 2012_1_1
ID: s0tvpi6i
Snippet: Gallbladder perforation with bile leak can result from thermal injury during radiofrequency ablation of liver tumours. Two case studies demonstrate a technique for preventing gallbladder injury to the peritoneal surface of a distended gallbladder adjacent to the anticipated hepatic ablation zone. The use of percutaneous gallbladder needle decompression can safely separate or retract the peritoneal surface of the gallbladder from a contiguous hepatic radiofrequency ablation zone.
