Application of Radio Frequency in the Management of Neurofibroma
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The usual practice of making skin incisions by a scalpel leads to more bleeding and time spent on achieving hemostasis. An alternative to this is to use electromagnetic radiation of high frequency in the form of radiofrequency to make skin inciosns that are more precise, accurate, associated with less bleeding and in turn less time consuming giving more defined result. Neurofibromatosis type 1 is associated with multiple swellings all over the body with surgical management required for aesthetic reasons or for symptomatic swellings.
