Irreversible electroporation of colorectal liver metastases with the "Nanoknife" system

Due to recent advances in minimally invasive surgery, there is a new ablation technique – the irre-versible electroporation (IRE), based on the effect of electric fields. This report describes the firstcase of colorectal liver metastases irreversible electroporation in Russian Federation. This early analysis of IRE treatment of hepatic tumors demonstrates safety for treating liver malignancies. Larger studies and longer follow-up are necessary to determine long-term efficacy.
