Huo J et al. Comparative Effectiveness of Computed Tomography-Versus Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation Among Medicare Patients 65 Years of Age or Older With Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Value Health 2019; 22(3):284–292 Die Inzidenz des Leberzellkarzinoms hat sich in den letzen 20 Jahren mehr als verdoppelt. 2018 wurden in den USA mehr als 31 600 neue Fälle registriert, knapp die Hälfte dieser Patienten war älter als 65 Jahre. Die damit verbundenen jährlichen Kosten werden auf 455 Millionen US Dollar geschätzt. Für fortgeschrittene, inoperable Fälle steht die Radiofrequenzablation als Therapieoption zur Verfügung, die Ultraschall- oder Computertomographie-gestützt durchgeführt werden kann. Die Autoren vergleichen die Effektivität beider Bildgebungstechniken für das Verfahren.

Abstract We describe the case of a patient with a diaphragmatic hernia associated with radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma who was successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery. A 62-year-old man with a long history of hepatitis C-induced liver cirrhosis was admitted to our institution because of recurrent postprandial periumbilical pain. Eight years earlier, he had undergone radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma at hepatic segment VIII. Computed tomography, gastrografin enema examination revealed transverse colon obstruction because of a diaphragmatic hernia. We diagnosed diaphragmatic hernia associated with the prior radiofrequency ablation treatment. The patient underwent laparoscopic repair of the diaphragmatic hernia. Though the patient experienced the recurrence once, relaparoscopic treatment has improved the patient's conditions. Thus, diaphragmatic hernia can develop as a complication of radiofrequency ablation treatment. A laparoscopic approach is safe, feasible, and minimally invasive, even in patients with cirrhosis who develop iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia as a complication of radiofrequency ablation treatment.
