Recently, the interventional therapies are used more often in clinical practice for hepatocellular carcinoma. The most commonly\nused methodologies include radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, laser ablation, and cryotherapy. Most of the\ninterventional operations need local anesthesia combined with intravenous sedation. Also, some interventional therapy centers\napply general anesthesia. However, different anesthesia methods can cause diverse effects on patientsâ?? pain management,\nrecovery time, and hospitalization time. For the better understanding of the current anesthesia application status, we summarize\nand analyze multiple anesthesia methods while being applied in interventional therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma; in\naddition, their characters are also compared in this paper.
