Radio wave removal of moles, warts and papillomas using the Surgitron device Surgitron or radioknife is a radio wave surgery device manufactured in America.

Surgitron or radio knife is used in dermatology, cosmetology, gynecology and urology. More often, the technique is used to remove warts, moles and papillomas. The device is also used for cervical erosions and for bloodless biopsy. Radioknife helps get rid of scarring after abortion and childbirth. After its use there is no pain, swelling, or infection.

The Surgitron treatment method is called radio wave surgery, radio wave coagulation or radio wave excision.

Advantages of Surgitron

Surgitron is a high-frequency device. The main advantage of such devices is the minimal traumatic effect on tissue.

The radio wave incision is performed without the physical manual pressure or crushing of tissue cells inherent in electrosurgical, pulsed, medium- and low-frequency devices, instruments made of the finest wire (a special tungsten alloy that does not heat up under the influence of radio waves), called surgical electrodes that emit high-frequency radio waves.

The specific interaction of radio waves with cells allows for careful dissection while preserving the underlying tissue. Radio waves, absorbed by intracellular fluid, affect only the superficial layers of tissue - there is no risk of damage to laterally and deeper located organs and tissues.

This is why radio wave treatment is often used on the face, cervix and genitals, especially in nulliparous women. That is, where the skin or mucous membrane is very delicate and thin, and where scar formation is undesirable.

Advantages and disadvantages of radiosurgery

Radiosurgical removal of papillomas and warts on the face and body has a wide range of advantages:

• No pain during the operation.
• There is no risk of subsequent inflammation and complications.
• Minimal recovery time, almost complete absence of restrictions.
• Tumors are removed in any place, even hard to reach.
• Performing the procedure on an outpatient basis
• It is possible to conduct histological analysis.
• The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis; there is no need to go to the hospital.

Medical clinics in Moscow offer affordable prices for the removal of papillomas and other formations using the radio wave method, which is also a significant advantage.

Disadvantages of treatment with the Fotek device:

• There is a small chance of relapse, that is, the reappearance of the formation.
• Not performed for large tumors.

How to remove moles, nevi, papillomas and other skin formations

First, the skin is treated with an antiseptic. Then local anesthesia is performed with an anesthetic (lidocaine, novocaine). The anesthetic is injected into the skin with a syringe or by applying a special anesthetic cream.

When the anesthetic has begun to take effect, the doctor takes the loop waveguide, turns on the Surgitron device and removes the formation using a radio wave.

Everything happens very quickly and painlessly. Moreover, if the neoplasm then needs to be sent for histological examination, then the mole or papilloma is removed at the root.

You can also remove a mole or papilloma using Surgitron using smooth fractional movements, removing the formation tissue layer by layer. After such removal, virtually no traces will remain on the skin.

After removal, the wound is smoothed with a ball waveguide. In addition, tissues are coagulated to stop bleeding.

The final stage is treating the tumor removal site with an aqueous solution of chlorhexidine or fucorcin (or another antiseptic).

Indications and contraindications

Using radio waves, it is possible to remove the following tumors:

• granulomas;
• papillomas;
• warts;
• condylomas;
• telangiectasia;
• fatty hyperplasia;
• genital warts;

• keratoses - senile and seborrheic.

Contraindications:

How is radio wave exposure performed with Surgitron in gynecology?

As with dermatological treatments, anesthesia is first performed. The doctor then removes the mass on the cervix with a loop electrode, either in one pass or, more often, in several passes.

After this, the wound is treated with a ball electrode, radio wave coagulation of the bleeding vessels is carried out and the wound on the cervix is ​​smoothed.

At the end of the operation, the doctor treats the wound with an aqueous solution of chlorhexidine or another aqueous antiseptic.

The entire operation takes only 7-10 minutes.

Prices for visiting a dermatologist

The clinic provides a certificate for tax deduction.

Rehabilitation after radio wave exposure in gynecology

In the first day after exposure, there may be a slight nagging pain in the lower abdomen. You can take a Nurofen tablet to relieve pain.

Wound healing occurs under the fibrin film within 7-10 days. From 4-5 days, partial rejection of the fibrin film begins. From this time on, the woman may have slight bleeding from the vagina. They should not be abundant and should not have an unpleasant odor. The discharge can last up to 14-20 days, gradually decreasing.

After surgery, it is recommended to insert suppositories with antiseptics into the vagina (for example, Depantol).

After the operation, you cannot have sex, take a hot bath or go to the sauna, play sports, or do heavy physical work for a month.

The essence of the radiosurgical method of removal

The effect of the method is that under the influence of electric current, skin and soft tissue cells heat up, expand, the cellular fluid boils and evaporates. The result is an incision of the required depth with simultaneous disinfection and blood clotting. For this purpose, a fairly thin electrode is used, also called an electric knife, which does not heat up at all during the procedure. Removal by radio wave is a non-contact method, because the instrument itself does not produce a mechanical effect on the dermis. We can say that the use of radiosurgical method for removing tumors leaves virtually no traces.

Types of benign skin neoplasms

Benign skin tumors do not pose a serious threat to humans, but they cause psychological and even physical discomfort, especially when located in areas of the body that are not usually covered by clothing. The main benign neoplasms include:

• Warts and papillomas. Occur on the skin due to infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are painless and are small growths with a height and a diameter of several millimeters. These neoplasms are localized in the folds of the skin, have blood vessels and a loose structure, and can change color and grow.
• Nevi (moles). They are based on melanocytes - cells that contain the main coloring pigment of the body. Most moles are harmless, especially if they are small and do not cause discomfort, that is, they are not located on open areas of the body.

Advantages and disadvantages

Each device has advantages and disadvantages. Among the positive features, the following should be noted:

• removal of moles in a gentle and safe way;
• minor pain during manipulation;
• quick period of rehabilitation and recovery;
• reducing the risk of inflammation and infection in the postoperative period;
• radio wave radiation has a destructive effect on almost all pathogenic microorganisms;
• exposure is not accompanied by burns;
• affordable cost of the procedure.

Disadvantages of therapy.

1. It is not recommended to use in the presence of chronic diseases, diabetes, glaucoma, epileptic seizures.
2. Rarely allowed for use in inflammatory skin diseases, especially during exacerbation.
3. Not prescribed to people who have a tendency to bleed.

Before starting treatment, you should study the Surgitron radio wave apparatus. It is recommended to choose trusted clinics that regularly practice it. This will ensure a favorable result.

How does the procedure work?

Radio wave surgery for moles and other growths is a method of removing them using radio waves. This method is used along with laser and is considered safe and effective. A gentle incision is made on the skin that does not require suturing.

The procedure lasts several minutes. It all depends on the complexity and type of tumor. For example, radio wave removal of moles takes 10-15 minutes. Radio wave removal of papillomas with multiple rashes requires more time. For maximum patient comfort, local anesthesia is used, which is included in the cost of the service.

Cost of tumor removal

The price of radio wave surgery depends on the type of anesthesia, volume and type of tissue removed. The final cost of the procedure also includes a consultation with a doctor and a histological examination of the removed tissue (if there are indications for this). You can view the current price of this procedure on the price list page.
