Popis: Background : The objective of this study was evaluate the efficiency of chest tube insertion after trans-thoracic microwave coagulo-necrotic therapy for hepatic tumors.Methods : Twenty trans-thoracic microwave coagulo-necrotic therapy was performed in patients with hapatic tumors. The cases was divided into two groups ; Group I consisted of 10 patients with chest tube insertion. Group II consisted of 10 patients without chest tube insertion.Results : A comparison of pre-, intra- or post-operative data revealed that there was no significant differences in each group. A complication occured in 1 (5%) patient out of 20 cases. When a comparison was made with Group I and Group II, there was no significant differece in complication. The mean durations of hospitalization after treatment were 14.3 days in Group I and 21.1 days in Group II (p = 0.0871).Conclusions : Trans-thoracic microwave coagulo-necrotic therapy for hepatic tumors without chest tube insertion was performed safely.
