Laparoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation of Liver Tumors

Definition

Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors is a minimally invasive medical treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy cancerous cells in the liver. This procedure involves inserting a laparoscope and specialized needle-like probes through small incisions in the abdomen, which deliver high-frequency electrical currents to heat and destroy the tumor tissue.
