Ablation thermique laparoscopique de métastases spléniques

When treatment of splenic metastasis is proposed with curative intent, thermal ablation by RF or by MW seems to be a feasible and safe technique resulting in spleen conservation with a low morbidity rate. Because of these features, thermal ablation seems an ideal treatment modality to obliterate splenic metastasis and may be an indispensable tool in the armamentarium of modern splenic surgery.
