“…These embolization agents have limitations because they may lead to immunologic reactions or may be washed away by blood leaving the wound uncovered [7] [8] [9] [10] . In contrast, cauterization by percutaneous radiofrequency ablation [11] [12] or microwave coagulation [13] [14] specifically targets the vascular injury. Microwave coagulation was recently shown to be more efficient than radiofrequency ablation because it covers a larger area more rapidly [15] , a clear advantage in urgent scenarios like liver trauma.…”

ObjectivesTo evaluate the in vivo efficacy of 915 MHz percutaneous coagulation in the treatment of hepatic artery injury.MethodsAfter inducing hepatic artery injury, 8 dogs in each group underwent 915 MHz microwave percutaneous coagulation therapy and 8 dogs were injected with batroxobin and α-cyanoacrylate.ResultsThe hemostatic effects of 915 MHz microwave were better than drug injection, and the amount of bleeding was significantly lower (p < 0.05). Pathological examination showed that vessel wall necrosis were greater.ConclusionContrast ultrasound guided 915 MHz microwave percutaneous coagulation treatment has potent hemostatic effects in the repair of in vivo hepatic artery injury.

“…Various surgical techniques have been developed to achieve hemostasis of the spleen. Radiofrequency fulguration (RF) is reported to be a safe method in an animal trauma model [2,3]. However, only three articles report RF for the control of splenic hemorrhage in human patients [4][5][6].…”

Although RF could potentially induce splenic infarction in the event of a large-scale fulguration, it is a safe, quick, and effective spleen-preserving technique for stopping an iatrogenic splenic hemorrhage when conventional hemostasis techniques fail. Furthermore, it is readily available and easy to set up in an emergency situation and can be performed easily by laparoscopy without an additional port.

Radiofrequency-Assisted Hemostasis in a Trauma Model: A New Indication for a Bipolar Device

Abstract: The bipolar Habib 4X device delivers RF energy that can achieve hemostasis of the injured splenic and hepatic parenchyma. The method is feasible and safe. Clinical studies are warranted to assess short- and long-term results of this promising technique and compare it to the gold standards.
