Percutaneous ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses image technology to guide the precise placement of one or several needles in the centre of the tumour to be treated. Using different technologies, these needles apply energy to destroy a controlled volume of tissue, eliminating the tumour. Ablation may be curative in some cases and there is a high level of scientific evidence.
It is performed with needles through the skin, without the need for open surgery.
Lower risk of bleeding, infection and other complications compared with surgery.
Patients generally recover within a period of days or weeks (instead of months).
In some cases, ablation may be carried out under local anesthesia and light sedation.
No invalid future interventions.
: They destroy tissue using high temperatures.
They destroy tissue through freezing.
It destroys tissue without the use of heat or cold, but rather by high intensity electrical pulses.
The team of Surgeons and Interventional Radiologists who are highly specialised in tumour ablation.
They are sometimes assisted by robotic navigation systems.
In short, percutaneous ablation is a precise and effective alternative to conventional surgery for the treatment of tumours. It offers a number of advantages, such as less invasiveness, fewer complications and faster recovery.
