Robotic versus freehand CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary metastases: a comparative cohort study

ConclusionsRobotic radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary metastases with general anesthesia and high frequency jet ventilation is feasible and safe. Targeting accuracy is high, and fewer needle/electrode manipulations are required to achieve a satisfactory position for ablation than freehand placement, with early indications of reduced complications.
