Özet
Radyofrekans ablasyon uygulama kolaylığı, güvenilirliği ve başarılı sonuçları nedeni ile primer karaciğer tümörlerinin tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Radyofrekans ablasyon karaciğer transplantasyonu öncesi köprü tedavisi olarak da kullanılmaktadır. Burada radyofrekans ablasyonun nadir görülen iki komplikasyonunu bildiriyoruz.
