Does tricare health insurance cover radiofrequency ablation for barrett's esophagus?
Does Anthem Blue Cross cover radiofrequency ablation for barrett's esophagus, or low level dysplasia?
What imaging technology supports the laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation?
Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation is a technique in which the surgeon places a special needle electrode in the tumor under guidance from MRI or CT scanning.
How does radiofrequency ablation work?
Radiofrequency ablation uses heat generated by radiofrequency energy to destroy abnormal tissue, such as tumors or problematic nerves. A needle-like probe is inserted into the target area, where the radiofrequency energy is applied, heating the tissue and causing cell death. This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions like liver tumors, varicose veins, and chronic pain.
What is an innovative technique that is being used in liver surgery?
A newer technique that is reported to be safe and effective is laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
For which medical conditions is radiofrequency ablation used in prenatal surgery?
Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) and twin:twin reverse arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence.
What is ablation?
Ablation refers to the removal or destruction of a body tissue, usually done through a medical procedure. It is commonly used in the treatment of cancers, abnormal heart tissues, and other conditions where targeted tissue destruction is necessary. Ablation can be performed using various techniques, such as radiofrequency, laser, or cryotherapy.
What type of tumors are treated with laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation?
RFA can be used to treat tumors that are too small or too inaccessible for removal by conventional open surgery.
What are normal results for prenatal surgery using radiofrequency ablation?
RFA to slow the growth of a tumor usually enables the fetus to survive delivery, after which the tumor can be removed.
Is RFA available in the Philippines?
YES. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) can be done in National Kidney and Transplant Institute, Chong Hua Hospital, and Sacred Heart Medical Center.
What does endometrial ablation surgery involve?
Endometrial ablation surgery involves surgically destroying the first couple of tissue linings in the uterus. This helps women who have heavy periods have lighter ones but it causes sterility.
What are the management options for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Management options for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation includes cardioversion with drugs, electrical cardioversion, medications for maintaining a normal heart rhythm and heart rate control, atrioventricular node ablation, radiofrequency catheter ablation, surgical maze procedure, and medications for preventing blood clots.
What are alternatives are there to myocardial resection in the prevention arrhythmia generation?
new techniques allow for minimally invasive procedures to be performed, including radiofrequency ablation performed in an electrophysiology laboratory with mild sedation, instead of general anesthetic.
