Objective To explore the clinical value and experience of ultrasound guided combined with laparoscopic microwave ablation in treatment for special site liver cancer．Methods The clinical data of 9 patients with liver cancer treated by ultrasound guided combined with laparoscopic microwave ablation in our hospital from February 2008 to October 2010 were analyzed retrospectively．Results There were 6 cases of primary liver cancer， 3 cases of metastatic hepatic carcinoma. Eight cases of multiple tumors， 1 case of single tumor．There were one or more lesions invading liver capsular，a total of 13 lesions in all the patients． Among them，6 lesions located in diaphragm， 3 closed to bowel， 2 neared stomach，1 located in gallbladder bed and 1 in hilar．No serious complications and no death happened during operation．The following-up time was （9.2±4.7） months （4 to 18 months）， there were 2 lesions of part residual， including 1 case of microwave ablation again，1 case of percutaneous ethanol ablation， and 11 lesions of complete ablation （84.6%，11/13） 1 month after operation by CT examination．Four cases recurred 3 months after operation by CT examination， including 2 cases of microwave ablation again，1 case of percutaneous ethanol ablation，1 patient with pulmonary metastasis and giving up treatment，1 patient with poor liver function and died of liver failure 6 months after operation；1 patient with multiple lesions died of brain metastases 10 months after operation； the rest were still alive．Conclusions Ultrasound guided combined with laparoscopic microwave ablation is a safe and effective method in the treatment for special site liver cancer，the curative effect is good and worth of spread．
