Abstract
•
GPLA is one rare complication of liver microwave ablation.
•
It can be diagnosed with CT scan which shows gas-containing infective focus.
•
Patients with gastrectomy may have an increased risk of such infection due to gut flora change.
•
To date, data on effectiveness of empirical antibiotic is not convincing.
•
Close monitoring following ablation should be prioritised to allow timely intervention and prevent escalation of infection.
