A New Treatment Modality Radiosurgery
The technique of radiosurgery involves the passage of high-frequency radio waves through the soft tissue to cut, coagulate or remove this tissue. The soft tissue resistance to these radio waves causes cellular water in the soft tissues to heat producing steam and results in molecular dissolution of individual cells. The electrode used here transmits the radio waves in contrast to the electrodes used in electrosurgery, which resist the flow of current, and the tissue becomes hot. Thus chances of tissue damage are less with radiosurgery as compared to electrosurgery and even laser surgery. Advantages of radiosurgery are minimal collateral heat damage, rapid healing, and aesthetically pleasing scars. This modality of treatment is widely used abroad not only for Dermatological Surgery but also in ENT, Gynecology and Vascular Surgeries
