A prospective control study of radiofrequency ablation and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of primary small liver cancer

Abstract

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of primary small liver cancer. Methods 105 cases of primary small liver cancer from June 2013 to June 2016 in our hospital were selected as the research object, the patients were randomly divided into radiofrequency ablation group (54 cases) and laparoscopic surgery group (51 cases). SPSS19.0 was used to analyzed the difference between the two groups with surgery and preoperative and postoperative liver function, survival time and complications of surgery. P<0.05 indicated the difference was statistically significant. Results The operation time, blood loss, infusion volume, hospitalization time in the radiofrequency ablation group was significantly lower than those in the laparoscopic surgery group (P 0.05). Conclusion Compared with laparoscopic surgery, radiofrequency ablation in small hepatocellular carcinoma treatment is safe, which can promote the recovery of liver function, improve the quality of life of patients.
