Liver Cancer Treatment In Hyderabad – Dr.Abhilash Sandhyala

Liver Cancer Treatment In Hyderabad: This procedure can be conducted on an outpatient basis. And the patient is put under local anaesthesia and sedation or general anaesthesia. It is performed with the help of imaging techniques such as MRI, CT or Ultrasound guidance. The procedure is undertaken by an vascular specialist in Hyderabad Dr.Abhilash. The vitals of the patient such as blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse rate are checked throughout. The operative area on the abdomen is sterilised. This procedure can be done surgically or percutaneous or laparoscopically. A small incision is taken on the abdomen through which the radiofrequency ablation needle is inserted in the liver with the help of the image guidance. The needle is inserted inside the tumour present in the liver. Grounding pads are placed on the back or the thigh of the patient

Once in the desired location, electric current is passed between the needle and the grounding pads placed on the patient's skin. This electricity is sent in the range of radiofrequency waves. These waves cause local thermal heating of the tumour cells. Because of this intense heat in a very targeted small area, the liver cancer cells are destroyed. Because of the heat, small blood vessels supplying blood to the tumour cells also get clogged and shrunken. This leads to minimal blood loss at the same time cutting off the blood supply to the liver cells. The dead cancer cells are replaced with fibrous tissue and scar formation over a period of time.
