Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Cryoablation are alternative surgical methods to remove tumors. In RFA, radio waves are used to create heat and destroy the benign tissues. On the other hand, Cryoablation delivers cold temperature to the targeted areas to kill the benign tissues. These methods are quicker than a traditional surgery and allow patients to get back to normal life as quickly as the next day. Inoperable patients can safely use this method to reduce surgery complications and risks. D

Radiofrequency ablation is used to stop an erratic and often fast heart rhythm, known as atrial fibrillation or afib. Watch here to learn how. | Mayo Clinic

Lumbar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radio waves to treat chronic pain in the lower back. It is also known as lumbar radiofrequency neurotomy or lumbar facet denervationThe procedure targets the lumbar medial branch nerve, which transmits pain signals from the injured facet joint to the brainBy damaging the nerve, RFA stops the transmission of pain signals, providing lasting relief for patients with chronic lower back pain. #backpainrelief #backpaintre
