Plasma ablation is a medical procedure that uses high-energy plasma to remove or destroy tissue. This technique is often employed in surgeries to treat various conditions, including tumors and skin lesions. The plasma, which is a state of matter similar to gas but with charged particles, can precisely target and vaporize unwanted tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding areas. The process typically involves a device that generates plasma, which is then directed at the targeted tissue. Plasma ablation is valued for its precision and effectiveness, making it a popular choice in fields such as dermatology and oncology.
