Removal of warts by Surgitron is carried out using a special apparatus that allows you to remove different types growths on the skin. The action is carried out due to radio waves. The drug is quite easy to use, it allows you to control the depth of exposure, which makes the procedure absolutely safe.

The device allows the surgeon to skillfully perform precise, atraumatic incisions in the skin and tissues.

Surgitron ("radio knife") is a device, the principle of which is based on the conversion of electric current into high-frequency radio waves. Waves are directed to the wart using an electrode (waveguide). They contribute to the evaporation of fluid from the cells of the skin and mucous membranes. Healthy cells, to which radio waves are not directed, do not evaporate. Therefore, this device allows you to remove papillomas without affecting the surrounding tissues.

Scars on the skin remain insignificant, they can disappear on their own after a while. Scars are less noticeable than after laser wart removal.

The use of Surgitron is possible on any part of the skin, including the face and genitals, it is possible to use it on the cervix. It is also used in areas where thin skin or mucosa, where scarring is undesirable.

The device has several types of waveguides:

• triangular loop;
• round loop;
• ball electrode;
• waveguide scalpel.

The use of this drug is effective not only for the removal of warts, but also for other types of benign skin neoplasms.

The Surgitron device has a number of advantages:

• non-contact method. This minimizes the entry of pathogens into the wound during the procedure. The absence of bleeding helps prevent further spread of the human papillomavirus throughout the body. The non-contact method makes the procedure absolutely painless.
• The absence of swelling in the postoperative period reduces the likelihood of developing inflammatory processes during rehabilitation, and also simplifies the process of wound care.
• Only affected cells are affected. The skin is minimally damaged, the scar is almost invisible.

The mild effect of radio waves allows you to eliminate skin growths without negative consequences and achieve the maximum cosmetic effect. The procedure is carried out quickly and does not require special training, so the Surgitron apparatus is very popular. The intensity and depth of the impact of waves are determined depending on the type of neoplasm, its localization and multiplicity.

The nozzle is also selected according to the type of build-up. For raised warts, a loop tip is used; for plantar warts, tweezers are used to pull back the wart.

Indications for use

Surgitron is used not only to remove warts, but also to treat gynecological diseases

The Surgitron apparatus is used to remove the following neoplasms:

• fibroma;
• nevus (mole);
• papilloma (wart);
• lipoma;
• atheroma;
• condyloma.

In gynecology, Surgitron is used in the following cases:

• deformation of the cervix;
• endometriosis;
• nevus located on the genitals;
• biopsy of the cervix;
• polyps;
• leukoplakia.

Before starting the procedure, it is necessary to consult with a specialist in order to clarify the details of the manipulation. In addition, the specialist should inform the patient about possible contraindications.

As a result, a person gets rid of any growth in one procedure. After removal, a small wound forms on the skin if the neoplasm occupied a vast territory, and after the wound heals, a scar. After the procedure, it is necessary to carefully care for the wound in order to avoid infection and other undesirable consequences.

Contraindications

Removal of warts with Surgitron is prohibited in the following cases:

• renal failure in chronic or acute form;
• sharp infectious diseases:
• history of epileptic seizures;
• glaucoma;
• chronic hepatitis;
• dysfunction of the pancreas;
• oncological processes in the body;
• inflammatory processes on the skin;
• children's age up to 14 years.

In addition, it is necessary to postpone the radio wave effect on the body during menstruation. It is also not recommended to carry out the procedure during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How is wart removal performed with a radioknife?

Removal of warts by Surgitron takes place in several stages:

• the skin is treated with an antiseptic.
• Local anesthesia is performed using novocaine or lidocaine (injection or by surface application).
• Wait 5 minutes for the anesthesia to take effect.
• The specialist selects the necessary electrode, taking into account the type of neoplasm and its localization.
• After setting up the device, a direct effect on the wart is carried out. The larger the growth itself and its root, the deeper the radio waves have to be directed.
• With the help of a ball waveguide, all remnants of the skin growth are cleared.
• The wound is treated with a solution of chlorhexidine or other antiseptic.

The growth can be removed completely by excision along with the root. In this case, the neoplasm can be sent for histological examination if there is a suspicion of oncological degeneration. After this type of excision, the scar remains the most visible.

You can also remove the build-up gradually, gradually removing the layers of the neoplasm. In this case, exposure to radio waves remains minimal, so the scar on the skin is almost invisible.

Wound care

Proper care ensures rapid wound healing

After removing the build-up, it is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the wound in order to avoid infection and other negative consequences. In order for the wound to heal quickly, the following rules must be observed:

1. Control the cleanliness of the materials used for dressing.
2. In the first 3 days after the manipulation, avoid getting the wound wet.
3. Observe the rules of personal hygiene.
4. A week after the procedure, it is necessary to wash the wound with warm water and soap.
5. Do not use scrubs and washcloths so as not to injure the affected area.
6. Avoid hitting direct sun rays on the wound, refuse to tan in the solarium.
7. Prevent any mechanical impact on the scar.

If Surgitron was used in gynecology, the following should be considered:

• Some time after the procedure, a pain syndrome in the abdomen of a pulling nature may appear. The pain may not subside over the course of the day.
• The wound should heal under the fibrin film for at least 7 days.
• On the 5th day, the fibrin film begins to be partially rejected. At this time, minor spotting may begin. They can go up to 20 days, after which they gradually decrease.
• The wound should be treated with an antiseptic solution.

Potential Complications

All sorts of complications arise if the patient did not follow the rules of hygiene, and did not properly care for the wound.

The most common complication is the development of inflammation of the wound of an infectious nature. When pathogenic microorganisms enter the wound, their further spread through the bloodstream is possible, which negatively affects the state of the whole organism.

In addition, in the absence of proper wound care, the scar can remain for several years or even for life.

Today, there are various ways to remove formations on the skin. One of the newly discovered devices, the radioknife, is already freely used in surgery as a good alternative to outdated methods.

The concept of the method

Another name for the apparatus is surgitron. It helps fight warts, and so on. The method is very simple: the skin is gently incised using radio waves and the natural heat of the tissues. The operation is safe and painless, no infection simply has time to penetrate the wound.

The video below will tell about the surgitron method:

Its types

The radio knife itself is not divided into varieties, but waveguides come in different shapes. The strength of the impact can always be controlled. The form is selected depending on the size of the neoplasm and its localization.

So, waveguides are of the following types:

• Round loop.
• Triangular loop.
• Ball electrode.
• Scalpel.

Pros and cons of a radio knife

Like any other treatment method, the radioknife procedure has its advantages and disadvantages. The first ones include:

• Speed;
• Rapid recovery (the incision heals in a very short time);
• Accuracy (only the desired area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin is affected, neighboring tissues do not suffer);
• No direct skin contact;
• No risk of inflammation;
• Painless (the procedure can be performed without painkillers);
• No bleeding.

It can be seen that the list of positive aspects of the procedure is quite large. But there are also negative ones:

• Sometimes scars remain after treatment.
• Papillomas can re-form in those places from which they were removed.
• High price.

Comparison with laser

The radioknife has been used in medicine relatively recently. In fact, one procedure differs from another only in the mechanism of action. Both are equally effective, equally painless and equally gently treat the desired area of ​​the skin without affecting the neighboring ones.

Indications for holding

Typically, a radioknife is used when it becomes necessary to remove interfering neoplasms. Either on the recommendation of a doctor or on the initiative of the patient himself, who is driven by aesthetic or convenience considerations. It removes:

• papillomas;
• Moles and;
• warts;
• Anal fringes.

Also, the device is used for cervical erosion. This procedure is performed only on the appointment of a specialist. The radioknife is not used in gynecology as often as in dermatology, but still, due to its usefulness, it is required in both of these areas.

Surgitron is also used against,.

It is impossible to carry out the procedure during pregnancy and lactation, on infants and small children - too, but if necessary, in older children, condylomas, for example, in the throat, can be removed by radiomethod.

Contraindications

The radioknife cannot be used in several cases.

• With chronic skin diseases this treatment will do nothing.
• If the patient has a tendency to malignancy of neoplasms (for example, a tendency to form tumors), the procedure will be detrimental.
• Due to the allocation of frequencies that can interfere with the operation of heart rate sensors, a certain group of patients should avoid the procedure.
• The procedure is prohibited in the presence of skin viral diseases( , for example).

If there are no listed contraindications, you can freely seek help from a specialist and undergo an operation to remove skin formations with a radioknife.

Preparation for the procedure

The most important thing before starting the operation is to find out what the patient hopes to eliminate. A thorough medical examination also allows you to assess the general condition of the skin: are there any viral diseases, inflammations, serious rashes. If a woman plans to undergo the procedure, a pregnancy test is taken.

How is the treatment carried out

Before the procedure, the skin is well cleansed. The desired area is anesthetized either with a special cream or with an injection. There is no need for this, but for safety reasons, some patients themselves ask for anesthesia.

The radio knife, outwardly resembling a stick with a loop connected to a special apparatus, cuts the skin with a stream of radio waves without touching it. The operation takes less than half an hour.

The use of the device at home is prohibited.

How the treatment is carried out, the video below will show:

Consequences and possible complications

Complications are usually avoidable. A preliminary examination by a doctor allows you to minimize the risk.

However, just in case, examine the affected skin area well every day. If there are any suspicions, it would be better to immediately seek advice from a specialist.

Recovery and care after surgitron

As a result of the operation, an incision appears at the site of the incision, which quickly tightens the wound. After a couple of weeks, the crust will fall off, the skin will recover. At first, thin and tender, it will soon coarsen and become equal in density to the rest of the skin.

After the procedure, the first few days you need:

• Avoid moisture so that water and steam do not get on the affected area;
• Do not apply cosmetics on the crust;
• Do not sunbathe;
• Periodically disinfect the affected area.

Price

It is difficult to name a certain amount - in different cities, in different diagnostic centers they call different prices. The first procedure is the most expensive. The spread is quite large - from 400 to 1500 rubles.

In addition, the price does not include a consultation with a doctor. Therefore, if we are talking about the removal of several formations, the operation can be expensive.

We all, one way or another, want our appearance was flawless, and we strive to ensure that the skin is smooth and clean. When papillomas appear on it, this negates all our efforts to preserve beauty. After all, various skin pathologies very unpleasant and cannot be associated with the concept of beautiful and healthy skin.

Modern removal methods

Such defects as papillomas, unfortunately, do not disappear on their own. In addition, the appearance of new papillomas is possible if there is a decrease in immunity.

In order to prevent new and stop the growth of existing papillomas, it is necessary to start prevention and treatment in a timely manner. The most common method of struggle is removal. For example, the removal of papillomas by Surgitron. But more about this device later.

As an alternative, of course, you can try other methods, for example, cauterize papillomas with iodine, a lapis pencil, and various tinctures. However, these methods do not give a lasting result, and treatment with their help can take too long.

If you find defects such as papillomas on your skin, you should first of all consult a dermatologist. He will help develop a treatment plan. You may be offered several different ways to remove skin growths. It could be:

• Laser. This method is based on the evaporation of papilloma tissues with a beam of polarized light. Scars do not remain after the procedure, however, this method is contraindicated for use during pregnancy, as well as if there are inflammations or herpetic rashes on the skin.
• A liquid nitrogen. This method is relatively inexpensive and at the same time quite common. After the procedure, the skin will recover in about 5 weeks. However, there is a risk that a chemical burn will occur if liquid nitrogen gets on an area of ​​\u200b\u200bhealthy skin.
• Electrocoagulation. A method in which papillomas are cauterized with high frequency current. This method is not very convenient, since the rehabilitation period is long. This is because the wound surface heals for a long time, while maintaining strong pain. After removal, the risk of scarring is high.
• Removal of papillomas by the apparatus "Surgitron". This is the so-called radio wave knife. Represents the safest and effective method fight against skin lesions.

Removal of papillomas "Surgitron"

"Surgitron", or, as it is also called, a wave knife, is a special device. It affects neoplasms in the following way: papilloma tissues are destroyed as a result of exposure to a sharply increased temperature, which occurs when using radio waves.

• Damage to unhealthy tissues occurs due to the directed action of heat.
• Radio waves have a specific frequency.

Indications for use and contraindications

When removing papillomas, the aesthetic aspect plays a decisive role, however, when deciding to remove them, you need to make sure that the procedure is safe and that its use is justified. Of course, neoplasms cause discomfort, especially if they are on the face or visible when wearing open clothing. But still, it is important to worry about the safety of the procedure.

Papilloma is not only a cosmetic defect, but also fraught with another threat. It can be easily injured by rubbing against shoes or clothing, or damaged by daily shaving or caring for the underarm area.

Indications for the removal of papillomas "Surgitron" are the following types of skin pathologies:

• Papillomas of single and multiple localization.
• Warts.
• age-related keratomas.
• Molluscum contagious type.
• Hemangioma.
• Vascular stars.
• Papillomas and erosion of the cervix.

However, along with the indications, such a procedure also has contraindications, which should be taken into account in terms of the safety of the patient himself. So, the use of a radio wave knife is contraindicated in:

• pregnancy;
• epilepsy;
• inflammation of any etiology;
• elevated temperature;
• the patient has a pacemaker.

Operation process

Usually, the procedure for removing papillomas with Surgitron takes about 15-30 minutes. During the procedure, pain is not excluded, which can be avoided if anesthesia is applied.

1. Anesthesia is applied locally - with a special cream or local injection. Then the doctor, using an electrode, cuts off the papilloma from healthy skin.
2. The impact on the papilloma is made pointwise, that is, areas of healthy skin are not affected.
3. Depth, strength, temperature are set manually, taking into account individual characteristics and the degree of skin damage.

The device is adjusted under the direct visual control of an experienced surgeon.

Removal of papillomas on the cervix

If there is a removal of papillomas "Surgitron" on the uterus, the procedure is carried out only in the first half of the cycle, which eliminates the possibility of pregnancy. Before the procedure, the patient must be tested for PCR, gonorrhea, HIV and syphilis.

This method of removing papillomas can also be used in relation to women who have not given birth. Do not be afraid that there may be negative consequences, such as non-disclosure of the cervix during childbirth. The procedure is not carried out during menstruation.

Positive and negative feedback on the removal of papillomas with the Surgitron apparatus

According to papillomas with the help of a radio wave knife, it has several advantages:

• After removal, scars and scars do not remain on the skin.
• There is no contact of the electrode with the skin.
• A sufficiently large surface of the skin can be treated at a time.

• Histological analysis is possible.
• Allows you to remove papillomas not only on the skin, but also on the mucous membranes.
• When using a radio wave knife, there is no bleeding, since it has the effect of coagulation and sterilization at the same time.
• It is an almost painless way to remove papillomas.

But there are also negative reviews. The disadvantage of removing papillomas by "Surgitron" is the price of this method: there is a relative high cost. Cryodestruction, for example, costs an order of magnitude less. However, if we take into account the advantages of this method, then the price-quality ratio should certainly become a decisive factor for using it.

Recovery period

After removing the papilloma, a small crust forms at the place where it was, which completely disappears within a week. A trace remains under it, vaguely resembling a trace after an abrasion.

Wound healing can be accelerated by using agents such as Contractubex or Panthenol. Doctors insist that after removal of the papilloma, it is necessary to exclude the ingress of various kinds of cosmetics, perfumes, various detergents and water into the wound in principle. It is also not recommended to visit the solarium, walk under the open sun. Special care is required for traces of removal of papillomas on the face.

Conclusion

In the vast majority of patients, after the removal of papillomas by Surgitron, the reviews are as follows: safety, efficiency and speed of the procedure are noted. You can remove papillomas in various ways, but it is worth stopping at the one that will be the most gentle and effective. Before carrying out the procedure, it is necessary to consult with an oncodermatologist.

Surgitron (Surgitron, or radioknife) is a radio wave surgery device manufactured by the American company ELLMAN International. It is widely used to remove warts, papillomas, moles, areas of dysplasia (erosion) of the cervix.

The method of treatment with surgitron is called radio wave surgery, radio wave coagulation, or radio wave excision.

Devices for radio wave surgery

Principle of operation

The basis of the work of Surgitron is high frequency radio waves (3.8-4.0 MHz). Such waves cause the evaporation of fluid inside the cells of the skin or mucosa. That is, the cells themselves actually evaporate. At the same time, the surrounding cells, to which the radio wave is not directed, do not evaporate.

Due to the directed action of radio waves, the traumatization of surrounding tissues is minimal, even less than when exposed to a laser. Therefore, the consequences are milder - the frequency of scarring on the skin after exposure to a radio knife is much less than after exposure to a laser.

That is why radio wave treatment is often used on the face, cervix and genitals, especially in nulliparous women. That is, where the skin or mucous membrane is very delicate and thin, and where scarring is undesirable.

Types of waveguides-electrodes used in radio wave removal of formations in dermatology

Which is better - electrocoagulation or radioknife?

According to doctors, a radioknife is better.

1. Speed ​​of operation
2. Bloodlessness of the operation
3. Minimal pain after surgery
4. Significantly less swelling of surrounding tissues
5. Rapid wound healing after surgery
6. There is practically no inflammation and suppuration of the wound after a radio knife
7. Significantly less scarring after surgery, better consequences

Which is better - liquid nitrogen or radio wave treatment?

Reviews of doctors - Surgitron is better! .

1. When cauterized with nitrogen, a bubble forms, often with blood. When exposed to a radio wave, a bubble does not form.
2. After nitrogen strong pain in the area of ​​influence within 1-2 days. There is practically no pain after radioknife.
3. Skin injury from liquid nitrogen 1-2 cm around. There is no skin injury from the radioknife around the impact.
4. The bubble bursts, then heals within 2 weeks. The wound from the radioknife heals immediately under the crust within 5-7 days.
5. After nitrogen, a noticeable scar remains. After the radioknife, the scar is either imperceptible, or it does not exist at all.

Which is better - laser or surgitron?

According to experts, Surgitron is better.

1. Surrounding tissues are less injured (2-3 times)
2. No burn of surrounding tissue
3. Less wound healing time
4. Less scarring after the incision - better consequences
5. Better control over the process of removal of formations by the surgeon

Many surgeons know how important it is to control the depth of tissue incision not only visually, but also tactilely (with a scalpel or apparatus). The laser doesn't give that feeling. But the radio knife gives such a feeling. This is also why most surgeons prefer the radioknife in their work.

Indications for radio wave surgery in dermatology

• Papillomas and warts.
• Nevi (or moles)
• Keratomas.
• Lipomas and atheromas
• Fibromas
• molluscum contagiosum
• Condylomas.

Method of removal by radio wave method of moles, nevi, papillomas and other skin formations

1. Treatment of the skin with an antiseptic

2. Local anesthesia with an anesthetic (lidocaine, novocaine). The anesthetic is injected into the skin with a syringe or by applying a special anesthetic cream.

3. It takes 3-5 minutes for complete anesthesia of the skin.

4. The doctor takes a round loop waveguide, turns on the Surgitron device and removes the formation with a radio wave.
You can remove a papilloma or a mole with a surgitron immediately, under the root - just like in this video.

In this case, the removed formation can be sent for histological examination, especially if there are doubts about degeneration into cancer. But after such a removal, a noticeable scar can also form.

And you can remove a mole or papilloma with a surgitron with smooth fractional movements, removing the formation tissue layer by layer. Just like in this video.

> In this case, the removal is performed under the control of vision, in layers, without going deep into the deeper layers of the skin. Therefore, the scar in such cases is almost invisible or it does not exist at all.

5. The doctor takes a ball waveguide and with smooth movements removes the remnants of the formation on the skin, leveling the wound. In addition, with these actions, it coagulates tissues to stop bleeding.

6. After removal, the doctor treats the wound with an aqueous solution of chlorhexidine or fucorcin (or other antiseptic).

What to do after removing a mole (or papilloma) with a radioknife?

On the first day, treat the wound with a non-alcoholic antiseptic (aqueous chlorhexidine, or fucorcin, or another solution that the doctor will advise you).

In the future, a crust is formed, which may not be processed. After self-removal of the crust, the resulting scar can be lubricated with Contractubex cream.

Indications for the radio wave removal method in gynecology

• Ectropion.
• Ectopia of the cervix.
• Cicatricial deformity of the cervix with postpartum ruptures
• Leukoplakia of the cervix
• cervical endometriosis
• Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of the cervix I - III degree (CIN I - III) (according to the old - cervical dysplasia or erosion).
• Condylomas and anogenital nevi
• polyps cervical canal
• Cervical cysts
• Biopsy of the cervix

Method of radio wave excision of the cervix

1. The doctor removes the formation on the cervix with a loop electrode either in one pass, or more often in several passes. See photo.

2. The doctor treats the wound with a ball electrode, carries out radio wave coagulation of bleeding vessels and aligns the wound on the cervix. See photo.

3. At the end of the operation, the doctor treats the wound with an aqueous solution of chlorhexidine, or a 6% solution of potassium permanganate or another aqueous antiseptic.

4. The time of the whole operation is 7-10 minutes.

If conization of the cervix is ​​performed by the radio wave method on the Surgitron apparatus, the doctor uses a special waveguide electrode for conization (see photo).

The waveguide is inserted into the lumen of the cervix, the device is turned on and the doctor rotates the waveguide inside the cervix. Thus, the cone is removed from the neck (see photo).

What to do after radio wave coagulation in the postoperative period?

1. On the first day, there may be a slight pulling pain in the lower abdomen. You can take a Nurofen tablet to relieve pain.

2. Wound healing proceeds under the fibrin film within 7-10 days.

3. From 4-5 days, partial rejection of the fibrin film begins. From this time on, the woman may have a slight spotting from the vagina. However, they should not be plentiful and should not have an unpleasant odor. If the discharge is profuse, bloody or bad smell you should definitely consult a doctor.

4. Allocations can go up to 14-20 days, gradually decreasing.

6. Attention: the doctor must tell in detail what will happen to the woman after the operation, what discharges may be, in which cases it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor and give prescriptions for drugs (suppositories) that should be treated after a radio wave operation. If the doctor does not say anything, be sure to ask him about everything!!! And find out what to do if it gets worse!!!

It is forbidden

• Have sex within 1 month after radio wave cauterization of erosion or other cervical surgery.
• Take a hot bath and visit the bath - also 1 month.
• Go in for sports and fitness - 1 month.

Contraindications for radio wave surgery

• Herpes and other acute infectious diseases (SARS, influenza, etc.)
• Pustular skin diseases
• Heat body
• Acute and subacute inflammatory diseases vagina, cervix, internal genital organs.
  III - IV degree of purity of the vagina.
• Uterine bleeding unspecified cause.
• General contraindications for any elective surgery ( high pressure, diabetes in the stage of decompensation, myocardial infarction, epilepsy, etc.)
• The presence of a pacemaker.

Necessarily: all electrical appliances on the patient's body should be turned off or removed. For example, hearing aids.

Attention: if the doctor did not answer your question, then the answer is already on the pages of the site. Use the search on the site.

Papillomas grow in colonies

The appearance of papillomas is a symptom of the action of the human papillomavirus, which is one of the most common infections. During therapy, such growths are recommended to be removed in order to stop the spread of the virus. There are many methods of removal, among which radio wave destruction is especially prominent. it modern method, which today is preferred in many operations.

Removal of neoplasms is carried out using high-frequency radio waves supplied by a special device. Such an operation resembles a surgical operation with the difference that instead of a traditional scalpel, the doctor has a radio wave knife in his hands. In addition, the procedure itself takes place in a non-contact way, i.e. the device does not affect areas of the skin or mucous membranes.

During excision of tissues with a radioknife, sections are cut, but the cells in them evaporate, and do not separate as during surgical operations. Radio wave destruction is effective both for single papillomas and for multiple groups of growths. The peculiarity of the action of radio waves is that they can affect neoplasms in different, even the most inaccessible places. So, the method will be applied not only in open areas of the body, but also in the area of ​​​​the eyelids, armpits, on the genitals, etc.

Removal device

Removal of papillomas is carried out using the Surgitron apparatus, which is considered a universal tool for the destruction of various neoplasms. The device is able to remove not only papillomas, but also nevi, warts and erosion.

"Surgitron" operates on waves with a frequency of about 4.0 MHz, due to which the liquid is evaporated from the affected cells. The device is directed by a doctor, therefore, during the operation, injury to healthy areas is excluded.

In addition, the device has several electrodes, thanks to which a point effect is achieved even in hard-to-reach places.

Pros and cons

Radio wave destruction has many advantages over other removal methods:

• non-invasiveness of the procedure;
• bloodlessness of the operation;
• removal of growths from difficult areas;
• no trauma at the site of injury;
• the possibility of implementing the histology of the removed growth;
• sterilization of wounds in the process of removal;
• no complications after surgery.

Among the disadvantages of the method, one can single out the cost of the procedure, which is higher than for other removal methods. In addition, radio wave destruction is not suitable for removing large neoplasms that need to be removed only by surgical intervention.

Practicing dermatovenereologist Lenkin Sergey Gennadievich will tell about the radio wave method of removing genital warts and papillomas:

Contraindications

Despite the safety and painlessness of the procedure, it also has its own contraindications. Among them:

• the presence of malignant tumors;
• period of pregnancy or lactation;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• acute form of infectious diseases (herpes, influenza, etc.);
• heart pathology;
• diabetes.

In addition, the use of an apparatus with radio waves requires the absence of any devices powered by electricity. Therefore, radio wave removal is not suitable for patients with pacemakers. Patients with other devices, such as hearing aids, it will be necessary to remove them before the session.

Procedure steps

The removal of the build-up itself takes place quickly, but before this the patient needs to prepare for the procedure. Thus, the process of removing a neoplasm takes several stages.

Preparatory stage

Any operation to destroy existing growths should be carried out under the supervision of a dermatologist. At this stage, the sequence of actions will be as follows:

In this case, the patient does not need to perform any special preparation before the operation.

Operation

The whole procedure is carried out in the clinic and does not take much time. The duration of removal depends on the size and number of growths. In general, the operation can be carried out 5 to 30 minutes. The process itself looks like this:

An important stage in all therapy is the appointment drug treatment needed to prevent relapse. The attending physician should also advise the patient on this issue.

How the removal process takes place can be seen in our video:

Effects

Removal of any neoplasms with the help of Surgitron is a safe, non-invasive intervention. During and after the operation, the patient practically does not feel any discomfort.

Radio wave destruction is not characterized by the presence of complications in the form of burns, edema or inflammation. The recovery period is quite fast, and the frequency of relapses with proper therapy is minimal.

Before removal
After removal

Care

The radio wave removal method is considered a mild intervention, so a second visit to the doctor is not required after the procedure. There are no stitches after the operation, and there is no need for complex daily processing. Therefore, the patient will be able to perform all care procedures independently.

After radio wave destruction, a scab appears at the removal site.

It performs a protective function that protects damaged tissues from the penetration of microbes and aggressive environmental influences. This place must be treated several times a day with antiseptic and regenerating preparations. So the whole healing process will go faster. Healing usually ends after 5-7 days, after which the crust disappears. You should not touch it and try to separate it yourself.

After that, the scab will separate, and under it there will be clean skin. It turns out to be of a different shade and differs from neighboring skin integuments. This is considered normal and does not affect the health of the patient. A small scar usually remains at the site of the removal of the growth, which disappears 1-3 months after the procedure.

In this case, a patient who has undergone papilloma removal must follow a number of recommendations:

1. Do not visit the sauna or bath, do not take a bath in the first days after removal. It is allowed to wash in the shower, but not for too long. Prolonged contact with hot water can contribute to the occurrence of complications and slow down tissue regeneration.
2. Do not use cosmetics in the intervention area. The skin at the site of removal is weakened and needs to be restored. Even if the papilloma was removed on the face and was very small, you should not cover this area with decorative cosmetics. Substances in its composition will have a negative impact not only on the wound itself, but will also prevent its systematic recovery.
3. Use antiseptic preparations prescribed by a doctor. In choosing a means for processing, one should not deviate from the recommendations of the attending physician. Aggressive drugs can have a negative effect on damaged skin, so you should stick to gentle remedies - potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, etc.

The healing of the remaining scar depends on the patient's ability to regenerate. For each, these features are expressed individually, so differences in healing time can be significant.

After complete healing, the skin at the site of removal of the papilloma is aligned in color with other skin integuments. Therefore, over time, the traces of the operation become completely invisible.

Which is better: radio wave removal or laser

Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. Thus, radio wave destruction is more intended for the removal of convex neoplasms that rise significantly above the skin. The laser can cope with both convex and flat neoplasms.

Both methods are effectively used both on the mucous membranes and on the skin. They also work on the same principle: evaporation of cells in the affected area. However, the radio wave method has an advantage over the laser method in the area of ​​the healing period. So, the scab after laser destruction heals in about 1.5-2 weeks, while after radio waves the crust disappears after about 1 week.

In addition, the Surgitron apparatus, operating on the basis of radio waves, is the most common equipment in clinics due to its versatility. While equipment for laser removal is not present in every hospital, since such a device is more specialized.

approximate price

Papillomas in the scalp or on the face - 300-400 rubles.
