What is the radio wave method, when is it used, advantages

The content of the article

The radio wave method of tumor removal involves the focused impact of high-frequency radio waves on the tumor in order to excise it. The radio wave acts like a surgeon's scalpel, but does not leave behind blood, because at high temperatures the blood instantly coagulates. A mole or any other formation is removed along with a small area of ​​healthy tissue. The incision is very small and does not leave any scars.

Removal of tumors using the radio wave method is carried out in the following cases:

  • the nevus increases in size, changes color, and hurts;
  • neoplasms grow and occupy an increasingly larger area;
  • moles change shape and bleed.

The main advantage of the radio wave method is the ability to remove tumors of any type, even those located in the deep layers of the skin. Other advantages of the method include the following:

  • no need for stitches or bandages;
  • the procedure is completely bloodless, it is suitable for people with blood diseases;
  • the operation is performed under topical anesthesia, it does not require anesthesia;
  • the procedure lasts 5-20 minutes;
  • healing occurs in 3-10 days, depending on the area of ​​the tumors being removed;
  • minimal possibility of relapse (no more than 6%);
  • used where cryodestruction (exposure to liquid nitrogen) and laser removal is impossible (for example, on the eyelid);
  • tissues after removal can be sent for histological examination.

Recovery period

The doctor will give several recommendations to speed up skin healing. These include the following:

  • do not wet the skin area for 24 hours;
  • refuse to visit the solarium, bathhouse, sauna, beach;
  • wear loose clothing that does not put pressure on the wound;
  • do not remove the crust that has formed on the wound;
  • Do not use cosmetics or touch the wound until it has healed.

It is important to limit physical activity and stress as much as possible. If your doctor has prescribed medications, you should stick to the prescriptions. Antiseptic treatment may be required for several days; the specialist will tell you what products can be used to prevent infection of the wound.

Types of tumors removed by radio wave method

Removal of neoplasms using the radio wave method includes the removal of moles, vascular mesh, keratosis, papilloma, fibroma. It is necessary to get rid of tumors, especially if there are certain indications. Each growth on the skin is fraught with a certain danger:

Warts

Warts are neoplasms that arise at the junction of the two upper layers of skin - the epidermis and dermis. The formation rises above the surface of the skin and has a dense stratum corneum. Children are frightened by the fact that warts appear because they touch frogs and toads, and they allegedly infect them with an unknown virus. Warts are actually a type of human papillomavirus.

Sometimes warts appear in adolescence (juvenile warts) during a period of rapid hormonal changes and weakened immunity. Neoplasms in children are eliminated on their own as soon as adolescence passes and immunity is restored. Plantar warts are dangerous. In appearance, they resemble calluses, but constant friction threatens injury and further degeneration into a more aggressive form.

Moles

Moles are benign neoplasms found in almost every person. Moles or naevus maternus are made up of melanin-producing cells. They are dangerous due to their degeneration into basal cell cancer cells and melanoma, a malignant skin tumor. Moles larger than 1 cm in size, with swelling and pigmentation of varying intensity should be removed.

There are various ways to get rid of nevi and moles on the skin, but one of the safest methods is to remove tumors using the radio wave method.

Keratoma

Keratoma is a benign proliferation of epidermal cells (keratinocytes). Due to the exposure of the skin to ultraviolet light, the keratinized cells stop exfoliating, and they accumulate and become keratinized. Keratomas often become injured and bleed. They can degenerate into cancer, so it is recommended to remove them.

Fibroma

Cutaneous fibroma looks like a dense sac localized under a fold of skin. If its height does not exceed 2 cm, it is better not to touch the fibroma.

Papillomas

Papillomas are skin formations that are the result of infection with the human papillomavirus. About 90% of the world's population is infected with HPV, but not all neoplasms have a risk factor. It all depends on the strain of the virus, and sometimes skin manifestations go away on their own. But they have an unaesthetic appearance, so they are often removed from open areas of the skin.

Condylomas

Condylomas are viral tumors on the mucous surfaces of the body. Transmitted only through sexual contact. Some strains are especially dangerous because in 99.9% of cases they cause cervical cancer in women.

Condylomas on the surface of the uterus provoke miscarriage, and in men they cause bladder cancer. Removal of such tumors is carried out using the radio wave method, because it is the most effective and safe.

Preparation for the procedure for removing tumors using the radio wave method

Before the procedure for removing tumors using radio waves, the patient undergoes a medical examination by a doctor. It determines whether the growths are benign or malignant. It also looks to see if the patient has any inflammation or irritation on the skin. The procedure is contraindicated for pregnant women. It is advisable to avoid tanning shortly before removing nevi.

To exclude an undesirable reaction to anesthesia, the patient undergoes drug reaction tests.

Removal of moles using a Fotek radio knife, features of removal of tumors of different nature

Radioknife is a device for non-contact removal of formations on the skin using directed exposure to radio waves. It is a tungsten filament electrode in the form of a loop, in which electric current and ionized argon are converted into radio waves. There is no direct contact of the radio knife and the skin, and the excision of a wart or mole occurs due to high-frequency radiation.

The operation is performed under local anesthesia, lasts no more than 20 minutes and allows the removal of both single and group formations. The surrounding tissues are almost not injured, but the affected tissue is removed along with the viral cells, sealing the cut site with temperature.

The Fotek device is a high-frequency surgical electrocoagulator. It has a light and sound system of signals indicating the removal of a mole from the patient's body. Allows you to work in a humid environment, so it is used in gynecology for cauterization of genital warts.

The bipolar electrode is located inside the radioknife, allowing for precise cutting. The mode without coagulation (electrical influence) allows you to remove tumors.

Working with a Fotek radioknife prevents infection, ensuring rapid healing and minimal blood loss.

Areas of use

The scope of application of the method is quite diverse. Its advantages are:

  • fairly affordable price;
  • minimal probability of relapse (2-3%);
  • minimal blood loss (excellent coagulating effect);
  • fairly quick recovery after the procedure;
  • minimal trauma to the skin surface and mucous membranes;
  • minimal likelihood of scarring;
  • there is no contact of the device with the skin (the possibility of infection is excluded);
  • it is impossible to get burned;
  • There is no necrosis of tissue edges.
  • no hospitalization required;
  • in most cases, anesthesia is not required;
  • sterility of the procedure;
  • no additional treatment of the treated area with medications is required;
  • there are no negative consequences in the form of swelling and pain;
  • allowed for use in women who have given birth;

What to do after the procedure

The radioknife acts on the tumor, evaporating the tissue. A crust forms at the site of exposure, which quickly heals without leaving a scar. After the procedure, the wound should be treated with a solution of vodka and iodine, and after the crust falls off, with Panthenol wound spray.

If you have at least once applied for removal of tumors, avoid being in direct sunlight. Moles, keratomas and other formations indicate that the skin has a low protective reaction to ultraviolet radiation; melatonin is produced unevenly, accumulating in damaged areas. Even when going outside normally, you should use creams with a high SPF content.

Be sure to strengthen your immune system, because HPV indicates a weakening of the body’s immune functions. After the procedure, you should visit a dermatologist every year.

How is radio wave exposure performed with Surgitron in gynecology?

As with dermatological treatments, anesthesia is first performed. The doctor then removes the mass on the cervix with a loop electrode, either in one pass or, more often, in several passes.

After this, the wound is treated with a ball electrode, radio wave coagulation of the bleeding vessels is carried out and the wound on the cervix is ​​smoothed.

At the end of the operation, the doctor treats the wound with an aqueous solution of chlorhexidine or another aqueous antiseptic.

The entire operation takes only 7-10 minutes.

Radio knife Fotek: we are for low-traumatic medicine!

The high-frequency radio wave device "Fotek" is an effective tool for combating pathologies of the cervix and neoplasms in the vagina. We purchased the latest model of this device because we believe that our patients should be treated without pain and complications. The equipment has been approved by Russian scientists and has passed all tests, which is confirmed by quality certificates and a registration certificate issued for the Russian Federation.

The advisability of using a radio wave knife is determined by the gynecologist individually for each woman. As a rule, the Fotek device is used for significant deformation of the cervix, since its use does not lead to scar formation. Such consequences occur, for example, with electrocoagulation and chemical cauterization. Due to its low morbidity, radio wave treatment is suitable even for nulliparous patients.

Advantages of surgical treatment of bartholinitis with radio waves

The radio wave knife “Fotek” is a modern tool for treating diseases of the female genital area. It is used to open a Bartholin gland abscess and to remove a cyst (by decision of the gynecologist).

Advantages of the method in the treatment of bartholinitis:

  • effect of local anesthesia;
  • reduction of blood loss;
  • no tissue damage;
  • excellent cosmetic effect (no scar complications);
  • almost zero percentage of complications;
  • accelerated healing;
  • minimal number of contraindications;
  • reduction of surgical intervention time to 10-15 minutes.

Another innovative treatment that is gaining popularity in the field of gynecology is the surgical CO2 laser. According to the doctor’s decision, this method is used to remove cysts, open a Bartholin gland abscess and perform other gynecological procedures. Its advantages:

  • excellent cosmetic effect (no scars);
  • full control of the depth of exposure (prevention of bleeding);
  • high speed of impact;
  • minimizing the relapse rate.

Both methods are available at the Diana Clinic, but as mentioned above, the decision on the choice of treatment is made by the doctor. The specialist relies on diagnostic results, indications and contraindications; important characteristics are the degree and depth of the process.

Why and when do you need to remove skin tumors?

If there are suspicious neoplasms, it is better to consult a dermatologist. This is necessary if the defect grows, their number increases, a dark spot forms around, and the growth itself itches and hurts. The decision to remove tumors is made by a dermatologist based on the diagnosis and patient complaints. The type of growth, its characteristics and the likelihood of malignant degeneration are taken into account.

Removal of tumors on the face or other parts of the body is required in the following cases:

  • They are located in those areas of the body where they are constantly exposed to friction and have a high risk of damage. These are the areas of the armpits, groin, and inner thighs that are regularly shaved.
  • There is a high risk of degeneration. This applies to situations where the growths were accidentally damaged.
  • Unaesthetic type of neoplasm. More often this is due to the fact that the mole or papilloma is in a visible place, which causes psychological discomfort to the person.
