also called fulguration
Radiofrequency ablation,
Radiofrequency ablation, also called
fulguration
is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor or other dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current.
fulguration
Radiofrequency ablation specifically for pain, is also called
rhizotomy
it is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to reduce or stop the transmission of pain.
rhizotomy
is a medical procedure specifically for treating in different condition not for use as diagnosis
Radiofrequency ablation
RFA
Commonly used certain conditions such as
tumors, arrhythmia, or chronic pain usually chronic pain related to degenerative conditions (wear and tear).
uses a electricity and high frequency to give a purpose
Radiofrequency ablation
is used by heat generated from radiofrequency energy to destroy abnormal tissues.
RFA
use for ablate the tissue conditions or destroy the condition or disease
fulguration
2 TYPES OF RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION:
Fulguration
Rhizotomy
use this for heat when it comes to pain, any kind of pain that related to nerve (e.g. back pain, spinal, neck pain)
Rhizotomy
is a medical procedure wherein the part of electrical conduction system of heart or tumor or other dysfunctional tissue is ablated or destroyed using the heat generated from radiofrequency alternating current.
Fulguration
automatically used to stop the transmission of pain or to reduce the transmission of pain. Specifically used for the treatment of pain (e.g. chronic pain, degenerative disorders, neck pain, trigeminal condition, anything related to pain etc.
Rhizotomy
specifically use this term to destroyed tumor or to shrink disorder for cancer (e.g. liver, breast this is the primarily)
fulguration
HOW DOES RFA WORK?
Energy Source
Heat Application
Treatment Areas
- cancerous tumors
- heart arrhythmias
- chronic pain
is most commonly used to treat a spot of cancer that is causing problems such as pain or other discomfort
Radiofrequency ablation (fulguration)
generally not used as the primary treatment for most cancers.
Radiofrequency ablation (fulguration)
is a process of burning or destroying tissue using heat generated by electrical current.
Fulguration
is a specific type of RFA this procedure is used to destroy the abnormal issue and this context is to treat tumors, precancerous lesions or other localize conditions (endometrial lesions or fibroids)
Fulguration
RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION IS COMMONLY USED:
RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION IS COMMONLY USED:
Urological treatments
Gastrointestinal and gynecological treatments
Cancer therapy
ADVANTAGES OF FULGURATION
Precision
Minimally invasive
Outpatient
WHO ARE THE PATIENTS THAT CAN UNDERGO IN RHIZOTOMY?
- trigeminal neuralgia
- spnal pain
pain in neck - cerbral palsy
is a specific type of RFA that to treat chronic pain
