| Abstract: | Background Computed tomography (CT)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is presumed to be less morbid and less costly than laparoscopic
RFA. This analysis investigates the 30-day morbidity, hospital cost, and reimbursement for CT-guided RFA versus laparoscopic
RFA used to manage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). |
