What is Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Under ultrasound guidance, a radiofrequency electrode is inserted percutaneously, and liquid is used to separate surrounding tissues to protect nerves and skin if necessary. A common practice is to ablate the lesion in zones, monitoring the image and temperature response in real time until the predetermined range is reached. Compression is applied to stop bleeding and observation is performed after the procedure. Early postoperative attention is paid to pain, swelling, and voice changes, with the goal of reducing nodule volume, relieving compression, or improving appearance. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
