Percutaneous Ablation

Percutaneous ablation is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat certain tumors, often in the liver, kidneys, or lungs. It involves inserting a thin needle or probe through the skin directly into the tumor, guided by imaging techniques like ultrasound or CT scans. Once in place, energy such as heat (radiofrequency or microwave) or cold (cryotherapy) is applied to destroy cancerous cells. This technique aims to remove or reduce tumors with less pain, fewer risks, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. It is a precise, targeted treatment option for suitable patients.
