Definition: Ablabation, also known as "ablation", is a surgical procedure used to remove cancerous growths or tumors from various parts of the body such as the breast, neck, ovaries, uterus, prostate gland, liver, lung, colon, cervix, gallbladder, and pancreas. It is performed using an instrument called a microelectrode device (MED) and a biopsy needle. The process typically involves inserting a needle into the tumor or cancerous growth area through a small incision in the skin, then applying a special fluid to dissolve the surrounding tissue and hair. This fluid is then directed down one of several catheters to be inserted into a vein nearby. During the procedure, the patient will feel a brief pain that subsides over time before they can leave the hospital room. The device's power sends ions through the skin, which destroy cancer cells in specific areas of the body, and it does this without harming healthy tissue or causing bleeding. After surgery, the patient may be given antibiotics to prevent infection, and they will need to avoid certain foods and activities for several weeks while the body adjusts to recovery. In some cases, radiation therapy might also be required to treat any side effects associated with chemotherapy. Please note that this is a general description of an invasive surgical procedure. Depending on the location (cancer, tumor site) and the severity of the cancer (malignant), more detailed information may be needed. If you have questions or concerns about your own health, it's important to consult with your doctor for advice and guidance tailored to your individual circumstances.
