What are the hazards of liver radiofrequency ablation?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask about the hazards of liver radiofrequency ablation?

Doctor's answer:

Liver radiofrequency ablation surgery is relatively uncommon in clinical diagnosis unless it is for localized liver tumors or inflammation. Currently, we are only trying to understand its risks, which include the potential to damage blood vessels or hepatocytes, leading to scar formation. It is absolutely not possible to repair this damage, meaning that the injured area cannot be fully restored. The hepatocytes in this area are essentially dead and cannot be regenerated.
