Effect of augmented radiofrequency ablation in ex vivo pancreatic tissue using a percutaneous needle with sugar solution as a booster. Towards an improved pancreatic cancer surgery.

This article discusses the use of augmented radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with sugar solution in pancreatic tissue. The study was conducted on ex vivo swine pancreases and aimed to analyze the effects of RFA with sugar solution on pancreatic perivascular tissue. The results showed that pancreatic percutaneous needle ablation with sugar-RFA resulted in a larger ablation area with adiponecrosis compared to saline-RFA and RFA alone. The authors suggest that this technique may have potential applications in pancreatic cancer surgery. [Extracted from the article]
