Article Synopsis
  • Ongoing research aims to improve the safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for liver tumors using animal models, focusing on understanding the accuracy of ablation zone observations.
  • The study involved performing RFA on domestic pigs' livers and analyzing the results through both photography and histological techniques, measuring cell viability in the resulting ablation zones.
  • Findings revealed three distinct ablation zones with strong correlations between macro and micro-morphological data, demonstrating the ability to differentiate between non-viable (white zone) and various viable cell areas (red zones) in the liver tissue after RFA.

Purpose: To evaluate the rate of surgical complications during the change from subtotal resection to hemithyroidectomy or thyroidectomy over a period of 17 years.

Methods: All operations for benign goiter at our hospital were analyzed for the periods 1996-2002 (Group 1) and 2003-2012 (Group 2). The groups were compared for recurrent laryngeal nerve damage, hypocalcemia, and other surgical complications directly postoperatively.
