RFA Procedure - Radiofrequency Ablation

We first assess the tumor in detail, using CT scans and MRI, which are performed at our centre. However, if these investigations have already been done, we go through them carefully.
If the lesion is suitable for an RFA procedure from the treatment perspective, we assess the technical feasibility.
If the lesion is technically accessible, then a pre-procedure work-up is performed, which consists of a basic health assessment, and the coagulation profile.
If there is no contraindication, the procedure is then performed under deep sedation, with an anesthetist in attendance.
The procedure for an osteoid osteoma takes upto 30-45 minutes. For all other tumors, it may take from 30mins to 2 hours depending on the size of the tumor.
After the procedure, the patient is observed in the post-procedure room, until he/she is fully conscious. Usually within three hours, the patient leaves our centre. The patient is allowed light food four hours after the procedure. The patient will be on oral antibiotic coverage for another 3 days.
With most tumors including osteoid osteomas, the patient can go back to sedentary, non-strenuous work within 24-48 hours.
Follow-up CT scans or MRIs are performed at 48 hours, 30 days and 1 year and are part of the paid-up package.
