NCT05990257

Brief Summary

Patients with liver tumors who underwent US-guided-MWA of liver tumors were enrolled. These patients were allocated into three groups based on tumor size and number: A, B, and C. Prior to the ablation procedure, Group A patients received a combination of hepatic hilar block (HHB), Transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB), and local anesthesia (LA). Patients in Group B were administered HHB in conjunction with LA, while those in Group C received TAPB and LA. Evaluative parameters included the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores, consumption of morphine, incidence of complications, and factors influencing perioperative pain.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Primary hepatic carcinoma was considered if characterized by a solitary tumor (≤5cm in maximum diameter) or by the presence of multiple tumors (2-3 in number, each ≤3cm in maximum diameter). Importantly, these tumors were required to be devoid of vascular invasion, biliary intrusion, contiguous organ invasion, or any evidence of distant metastasis.
  • Another group included in the study were patients with hepatic metastases, limited to no more than 5 tumors each measuring ≤3cm in maximum diameter.
  • The ASA grade is II or III.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with severe underlying medical conditions that could potentially prevent them from tolerating the US-guided MWA procedure were ruled out.
  • Those with tumors invading blood vessels, bile ducts, adjacent organs, or presenting with extrahepatic metastasis were also excluded.
  • Further, any cases presenting with uncorrectable coagulation disorders, thrombocytopenia, or currently under administration of anticoagulant agents were deemed unfit for the study.
  • Finally, patients were excluded if a safe trajectory for executing US-guided MWA was not feasible.
