What Happens Before Percutaneous Radiofrequency ablation?
Before undergoing the procedure, you will have several diagnostic tests to confirm the presence and location of the abnormal tissue or tumor. These may include:
- Imaging tests: Ultrasound, CT scans or MRI are used to locate the abnormal tissue and guide the placement of the radiofrequency electrode.
- Blood tests: Doctors perform these to check your liver function and overall health status.
- Biopsy: A biopsy is done to obtain a tissue sample for analysis to confirm the diagnosis.
Once the diagnostic tests have been completed and you are deemed a suitable candidate for percutaneous RFA, the procedure can be scheduled.

How Do Spanish Doctors Perform Percutaneous Radiofrequency ablation?
Here is an overview of the procedure:
- Preparation: You will be given sedation or general anesthesia to help you relax and reduce discomfort. The skin over the tumor's area is cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic.
- Insertion of the RFA needle: A small needle is inserted through the skin and guided to the tumor using imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT, or MRI.
- Placement of the RFA electrode: Once the needle is in place, a thin, flexible electrode is inserted through the needle and into the tumor. The electrode is then positioned in the center of the tumor using imaging guidance.
- Application of radiofrequency energy: After that, radiofrequency energy is passed through it. This causes the surrounding tissue to heat up, which destroys the tumor cells.
- Monitoring and confirmation of ablation: Throughout the procedure, the temperature around the tumor is monitored to ensure that it reaches the desired level.
- Removal of the RFA electrode and needle: Once the ablation is complete, the electrode and needle are removed. The puncture site is typically covered with a bandage or dressing.
- The procedure takes one to two hours to complete
What Happens After Percutaneous Radiofrequency ablation?

- The doctor may recommend a special diet that may include fiber and proteins. Avoid spicy and fatty food. Do not drink alcohol. Follow their instructions carefully.
