Popis:	Percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) was performed in 12 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (14 nodules) on the liver surface. No serious complication included the peritoneal bleeding was detected after PMCT. Artificial ascites between the abdominal wall and the tumor on the liver surface prevented the burn of the abdominal wall by the microwave irradiation and severe pain was not complained in any cases. Local recurrences were not observed in 10 nodules less than 3 cm in size. Thus, these results suggest that PMCT is a useful therapy for small hepatocellular carcinoma on the liver surface.
