2. Microwave ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_ablation

   The technique for thermal ablation in the lung by using radiofrequency ablation was first described in 1995 for use in animal lung tumor models and then in 2000 in humans. [1-2] Microwave ablation has emerged as a newer ablation modality and an addition to the arsenal of minimally invasive cancer care.

3. Irreversible electroporation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreversible_electroporation

   The newer ablation modalities, such as IRE, microwave ablation (MWA), and high-intensity focused ultrasound, may help overcome the challenges in tumor size. [ 92 ] The first human studies have proven the safety of IRE for the ablation of renal masses; however, the effectiveness of IRE through histopathological examination of an ablated renal ...

   These typically take the form of three types of ablative therapy: microwave thermal ablation, radiofrequency ablation ("coblation") and cryoablation. [49] Microwave thermal ablation. Microwave ablation is a treatment that uses heat to treat tumors.

5. Stereotactic surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotactic_surgery

   Stereotactic surgery is a minimally invasive form of surgical intervention that makes use of a three-dimensional coordinate system to locate small targets inside the body and to perform on them some action such as ablation, biopsy, lesion, injection, stimulation, implantation, radiosurgery (SRS), etc.

6. Cox maze procedure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_maze_procedure

   During the past 10 years, [when?] several energy sources, such as unipolar radiofrequency, bipolar radiofrequency, microwave, laser, high-intensity focused ultrasound, and cryothermia, were incorporated into various devices in order to create some of the lesions of the Cox maze III procedure without actually cutting into the atrial walls ...

7. Radiofrequency ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiofrequency_ablation

   Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).
