PERCUTANEOUS ABLATION OF TUMOURS
These procedures involve chemical, radiofrequency (RFA) or microwave ablation of tumours in the liver, kidneys and certain tumours in the bone. These are performed for tumours of a certain size and number and recent medical literature upholds this treatment as an alternative to invasive surgery. These procedures are done through pinhole incisions under image guidance and thus avoids the morbidity and long recovery periods associated with invasive surgery.
