Radiopaque Fiducials Guiding Laparoscopic Resection of Liver Tumors

Background: Minimal invasive laparoscopic resection of liver tumors is less traumatic compared with open surgical resection and may be a better option for many patients. However, localization of intrahepatic tumors remains a challenge. Availability of hybrid operating rooms, equipped for high performance radiologic imaging, allows for new methods of surgical navigation. Methods: Twelve patients planned for laparoscopic resection of liver tumors...
