Background: Radiofrequency coagulation (RFC) is being promoted as a novel technique with a low morbidity rate in the treatment of liver tumours. The purpose of this study was to assess critically the complication rates of RFC in centres with both large and limited initial experience, and to establish causes and possible means of prevention and treatment. The morbidity and mortality of RFC, while low, is higher than previously assumed. With adequate knowledge, many complications are preventable.

“…A thoracotomy can be used for two different strategies: either to perform the hepatic resection through a phrenotomy, or to access the hepatic dome for focalized tumor ablation [20]: this can be performed trans-diaphragmatically or in direct contact with the liver via a short phrenotomy.…”

Abdominal approach is commonly used for resection of liver tumors. However, in rare cases, transthoracic approach may be a valuable option for management of lesions located in the hepatic dome or involving the cavo-hepatic junction for very selected patients. This approach can be an open procedure (thoracotomomy), a video-assisted minimally invasive technique (thoracoscopy), or a strictly percutaneously treatment (CT-guided radiofrequency ablation). This approach seems useful for high-risk patients, with previous major abdominal surgery, or awaiting for liver transplantation (bridge concept) with cranially located single lesions. A limited liver resection (tumorectomy or segmentectomy) can be performed, but this approach is also suitable for percutaneous ablation therapy (radiofrequency or cryotherapy), with an acceptable morbidity.
