PURPOSE: To improve the computer modelling of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) by internally cooled wet (ICW) electrodes with added clinically oriented features. METHODS: An improved RFA computer model by ICW electrode included: ...

Oligometastatic disease is a relatively new concept that refers to an intermediate stage between disseminated and localized cancer. Most frequent locations for colorectal metastasis are lung and liver. We present an a ...

Purpose: To assess the feasibility of a hybrid ablative technique based on applying electroporation (EP) pulses just before conducting radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The rationale was that the EP-induced reduction in blood ...

La ablación con radiofrecuencia y microondas son opciones terapéuticas útiles para el tratamiento de tumores malignos hepáticos en pacientes seleccionados. Aunque comparables, sus resultados son todavía inferiores a los ...

Background: The studies which address the impact of costs of robotic vs. laparoscopic approach on quality of life (cost-effectiveness studies) are scares in general surgery. Methods: The Spanish national study on ...

Perception in our everyday life takes place in multisensory environments, and hence involves the processing of a multitude of signals captured by various sensory modalities. Given the different nature of the signals, ...

This study explores the potential of irreversible electroporation (IRE) in the treatment of scattered liver tumors, focusing on the electrical properties of the tissue. The administration of a 5% glucose solution (GS5%) ...

INTRODUCCIÓN: Este estudio evalúa el aumento selectivo de la conductividad hepática mediante la infusión hipersalina en el sistema portomesentérico para tratar simultáneamente todos los tumores hepáticos mediante electroporación ...

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) has gained attention as a new non-thermal therapy for ablation with important benefits in terms of homogeneous treatment and fast recovery. In this study, a new concept of high voltage ...
