Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a medical procedure in which radiofrequency energy is used to create heat and destroy or ablate tissue.. Call us today to make an appointment we serve patients across New York and New Jersey, including communities such as Plainview, Ronkonkoma, New Hyde Park, Montville, and Plainfield.
It is often used to treat conditions such as arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), nerve pain, and tumors. During the procedure, a specialized needle or probe is inserted into the body, and radiofrequency energy is transmitted through the probe to the targeted tissue. The heat produced by the radiofrequency energy causes the cells in the targeted tissue to break down and die. RFA is generally a safe and effective procedure with a low risk of complications. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. Your doctor will discuss the potential risks and benefits of RFA with you and help you decide if it is the right treatment option.
