RF ablation is a medical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy abnormal tissue in the body. This technique is commonly used to treat various conditions, including arrhythmias, tumors, and chronic pain. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into the body, delivering radiofrequency waves that generate heat, effectively targeting and eliminating the unwanted tissue. The procedure is typically performed in a hospital or outpatient setting and may require local or general anesthesia. Patients often experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities relatively quickly. RF ablation is considered a minimally invasive option, offering a safer alternative to traditional surgery for many patients.
