Radio Frequency Ablation Surgery in India
It is a new minimally invasive technique that
involves the introduction of image guided
electric needles through small punctures in the
skin of the body overlying the diseased tissue.
The probes are guided to the target site with
the help of CT scan or ultrasound. Once the
target is reached high frequency current is
passed through the needle probes which produces
large amount of heat within and around the tumor
cells and kills them tumor. It is helpful in
localized tumors and can also be used in
conjunction with resection or chemotherapy. RFA
can be used successfully to destroy tumor tissue
in any part of the body. It can also be used to
treat any dysfunctional tissue. Currently it has
been used effectively to treat cardiac
arrhythmia, liver cancer, varicose veins, kidney
tumors, chronic low back pain (rhizotomy). In the
last 15 years RFA has come to be a dependable and
safe procedure with promising outcome. It is
generally used for multiple tumors within the
same organ or various organs, primary or
secondary tumors, or if the tumor is too large to
be resected or if the patient cannot tolerate
surgery.

What is RadioFrequency Ablation?
Radiofrequency ablation heart treatment is a
nonsurgical procedure used to treat some types of
rapid heart beating. It is most often used to
treat supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. These
are rapid, uncoordinated heartbeats. They start
in the hearts upper chambers (atria) or middle
region (AV node or the very beginning portion of
the hearts electrical system).
Procedure of Radio Frequency Ablation Surgery
The procedure is usually performed under
intravenous sedation (conscious sedation) on an
outpatient basis. The patient is usually awake
and is given standard drugs (midazolam, fentanyl
and meperidine) to relax during the
procedure. These are the same types of drugs
that are given for any biopsy procedure. Most
patients are comfortable during the procedure and
require no pain medication or at the most, over-
the-counter analgesics when at home.  We first
assess the tumor in detail, using CT scans and
MRI, which are performed at our centre. However,
if these investigations have already been done,
we go through them carefully. The procedure for
an osteoid osteoma takes upto 30-45 minutes. For
all other tumors, it may take from 30mins to 2
hours depending on the size of the tumor.

After the procedure, the patient is observed in
the post-procedure room, until he/she is fully
conscious. Usually within three hours, the
patient leaves our centre. The patient is allowed
light food four hours after the procedure. The
patient will be on oral antibiotic coverage for
another 3 days. With most tumors including
osteoid osteomas, the patient can go back to
sedentary, non-strenuous work within 24-48 hours.
Benefits of Radio frequency Ablation
  • Provide a local treatment option when surgery is
    not possible or too risky.
  • Radiofrequency ablation may be used repeatedly
    to treat recurrent liver tumors.
  • RFA is a relatively quick procedure and recovery
    is rapid so that chemotherapy
  • may be resumed almost immediately in patients
    who need it.
  • Radiofrequency ablation is less expensive than
    other treatment options.
  • It requires a short hospital stay.
  • It does not require general anesthesia.
  • It has few complications.
