Abstract: Objective To investigate the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation after resection of colorectal caicinomain patients with liver metastases. Methods 17 patients with colorectal liver metastases had radical operation and hepatolobectomy and 12 had radical operation and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) from January 2008 to March 2014 in our series. Their clinical materials was retrospectively analyzed, and the survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan Meier. Results All the patients in radical operation and hepatolobectomy died within 20 months after surgery,and the average survival time was (13.412±0.912) months. The patients receiving RFA was followed-up for 6 to 28 months,and the average expected survival time was(18.496±2.139) months,which was significantly longer than in hepatolobectomy group(P<0.05). Conclusion The radical operation and radiofrequency ablation for treating colorectal liver metastases is feasible,safe and effective, and it can obviously prolong the patient's survivals.
