Bottom line: I recommend this service
Excellent and prompt service. They told (without insisting) which hospital and which doctor to contact. Initially I planned a survey in South Korea, but on the recommendation of the Bookimed coordinator, I went to the Italian clinic of San Donato, to Dr. Carlo Pappone, and I have no regrets. Special thanks to Anton Volvak and the representative of the clinic San Donato, Julia. Paid directly to the clinic (after all procedures), the price is the same as reported by an employee bookimed. Bottom line: I recommend this service.

Our Radiofrequency ablation Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Radiofrequency ablation, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS)

This non-invasive procedure uses focused ultrasound waves under MRI guidance to treat specific medical conditions without incisions.

Pros: Offers precise targeting of tissues with minimal damage to surrounding areas. Reduces recovery time significantly compared to invasive surgeries. No radiation exposure involved.
Cons: Not suitable for all types of tumors or conditions. Limited accessibility due to specialized equipment requirements.
Effectiveness: Success rates of 70% to 90% in reducing tumor size or alleviating symptoms.
Duration: The procedure typically takes 3 to 4 hours.
Recovery: Recovery time is usually 24 to 48 hours.
Best for: Ideal for treating uterine fibroids, essential tremors, and pain associated with bone metastases.
Prices: Cost of Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) in Italy from $20000

Radiofrequency Ablation of the Liver

Radiofrequency ablation of the liver is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to destroy cancer cells in the liver.

Pros: Offers a high success rate of 85% in small tumors. Less invasive than surgical resection, leading to a quicker recovery and fewer complications.
Cons: Limited to tumors smaller than 5 cm. May require multiple sessions for complete treatment and potentially less effective for larger tumors.
Effectiveness: 85% success rate for tumors smaller than 3 cm.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: 1-2 days
Best for: Tumors smaller than 5 cm in diameter. Particularly effective for patients with liver cancer not suitable for surgery.

Radiofrequency ablation with 3D mapping

Radiofrequency ablation with 3D mapping is a minimally invasive procedure using radio waves to target and treat arrhythmias with precision.

Pros: Offers precise targeting of cardiac arrhythmias with 3D imaging, reducing recurrence rates by up to 80%. Minimizes damage to surrounding tissues compared to other methods.
Cons: Requires specialized equipment and expertise, which may not be available in all medical facilities. Potential for longer procedure times compared to simpler techniques.
Effectiveness: Success rate of 70-90% in treating atrial fibrillation.
Duration: 2-4 hours.
Recovery: 1-2 weeks.
Best for: Treating complex cardiac arrhythmias in patients not responding to medication. Suitable for patients with atrial fibrillation.
Prices: Cost of Radiofrequency ablation with 3D mapping in Italy from $17500
