Tissue ablation is a medical procedure that involves the removal or destruction of tissue in the body. This technique is often used to treat various conditions, such as tumors, abnormal growths, or damaged tissues. It can be performed using different methods, including laser therapy, radiofrequency, or cryotherapy, depending on the specific needs of the patient.
The procedure is typically minimally invasive, meaning it can often be done with small incisions or even non-invasively. Recovery times vary based on the type of ablation and the area treated, but many patients experience less pain and quicker healing compared to traditional surgery.
