Radio Surgery Technique Overview – BASCO IND

Radio surgery is an advanced surgical technique that utilizes high-frequency radio waves (ranging from 0.5 to 2 MHz) to cut, coagulate, or remove soft tissue with precision. Unlike traditional surgical methods, radio surgery works by transmitting these radio waves through soft tissue via a handpiece equipped with a fine needle or wire loop electrode. The energy is focused onto the target area with the help of a patient plate (antenna plate) placed behind the tissue in contact with the patient's skin.

As the radio waves pass through the tissue, the natural resistance generates heat, causing intracellular water to convert into steam. This leads to cellular molecular dissolution, effectively vaporizing and dividing the tissue at the cellular level. This method results in precise cutting with minimal thermal damage to surrounding areas.

Key Benefits of Radio Surgery:

• Faster operating times

• Reduced tissue trauma

• Quicker healing and recovery

• Minimal post-operative discomfort

These advantages make radio surgery especially beneficial in dermatology, plastic surgery, eyelid surgery, ENT, and dental procedures. Its application is growing in general and hospital-based practices.
