Materials and Methods: Of six patients, four had liver tumors (3 heamangyomas, one hepatocellular carcinoma) and two hepatic hydatic cysts. Surgical procedures were RF assisted hepatectomy, enucleation, cystectomy and pericystectomy. Results: There was no need for blood transfusion except one case. Liver enzymes was normal after one week postoperatively except in two cases. Conclusion: We think that RF will be technique of choice for bloodless hepatectomy in coming years.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHepatectomyLiver tumors and hydatic cystsPericystectomyRadiofrequency energyOur experiences in RF - Assisted resections in liver tumors and hydatid cysts [Karaci?er tümörleri ve kist hidatiklerinde rezektif amaçli radyofrekans enerji uygulamalarimiz]Article2113740Q3
