Greeting from Dr. Ajay Upadhyay!
I am pioneer to start Radio–frequency-Ablation (Minimal Invasive OPD procedure) in Gujarat in 2007.
Till today (aug 2014) i have performed around 200 RFA of liver and lung and 100 RFA of Osteoid osteoma of bone.
In 100 cases RFA of nidus of Osteoid -Osteoma under CT guidance by Percutaenous route with 100 % clinical success ( femur-57, Tibia -28 ,Spine-4,Scapula-1,Intramedullary-2 others 8) .
This is a FDA approved 1st line of Rx of osteoid osteoma. This is a OPD procedure takes 2-3 hours, under spine/nerve block and precise location of nidus under CT guidance. The patient becomes pain(nidus) free after 24-48 hours and can walk after the procedure.
In liver lesion it should be below 5 c.m., less than 3 in no and with normal coagulation parameters with patient require a day admission.
