The Effect of Cooling Fluid Composition on Ablation Size in Hepatic Laser Ablation: A Comparative Study in an Ex Vivo Bovine Setting
Purpose: Hyperthermic ablation is a minimally invasive mode of tumour therapy which serves as a viable alternative to surgical intervention. However, one of the major drawbacks, besides the heat sink effect and the risk of damaging adjacent organs, is limited ablation size. The use of a cooling flui...
