Radiofrequency ablation uses heat energy to destroy abnormal cells. It may be used to treat various conditions such as cancerous tumors, cardiac arrhythmias, nerve pain, and even sleep apnea caused by excess soft palate tissue.
Depending on the reason for treatment radiofrequency ablation may be used in different ways.
Your doctor may recommend radiofrequency ablation treatments for other conditions such as varicose veins, uterine fibroids, and migraine headaches.
Radiofrequency ablation procedures may be done with local anesthesia and mild sedation (you’ll be relaxed but conscious) or in some cases, under general anesthesia and in conjunction with another type of surgery.
