The use of the Surgitron device is a method of radiosurgery, thanks to which it is possible to remove condylomas, moles, papillomas and warts.
After treatment there are no scars left, and treatment occurs in a short time and without pain. Reviews about Surgitron are positive. The device does not cause inflammation or suppuration of wounds.
How the device works
The emission of high-frequency radio waves is the basis of the operation of the Surgitron device. Organic tissue is affected. An incision in the required area of the mucous membrane or skin is made as a result of the fact that a beam of waves activates the movement of liquid molecules at the cellular level.
Severe bleeding can be avoided due to the fact that the vessels remain intact. After using the radioknife, a fibrin film appears, which quickly disappears, leaving a small scar. Over the course of several minutes, a beam of radio waves accumulates in the device, which then affects the desired area on the skin.
Electrodes are conductors of wave energy. Outwardly they look like a small wire. Their combination is selected individually, as it depends on the purpose of the procedure and the type of manipulation.
Among the electrodes there are:
- radio wave scalpel;
- ball waveguide;
- triangular waveguide;
- round waveguide.
The first type of electrodes is used for tissue dissection. It is also used to stop capillary bleeding. The second type helps treat postoperative wounds and is often used in laparoscopic operations. A triangular waveguide is prescribed occasionally.
It is mainly used to remove papillomas or warts in hard-to-reach areas. The round waveguide helps remove condylomas, warts and moles.
What is the essence of the radio wave method?
Radio wave removal of atheroma takes from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the tumor formation. This is the least traumatic type of operation. Surgery is preceded by local anesthesia. Under the influence of high-frequency radio waves, the contents of the cyst and its capsule itself are evaporated. Many people confuse laser surgery and radio wave surgery. Using a laser, the surgeon burns out the tumor cells layer by layer, while radio waves evaporate the cyst, allowing the hair to be preserved during head surgery. During the procedure, simultaneous coagulation occurs, minimal trauma is caused to the blood vessels, due to which bleeding is insignificant and the wound heals quickly.
Indications for surgery to remove atheroma using the radio wave method
This method is used on cystic formations whose size does not exceed 2-3 cm. For larger tumors, laser (cysts up to 5 cm) and classical surgery are used.
Even painless atheromas are recommended to be removed. The indication for surgical removal is the presence of atheroma established using various diagnostic methods. Careful attention is paid to diagnosing atheroma on the head. It disguises more dangerous ailments - hygroma, fibroma, hemangioma. Cysts are operated on first:
The radio wave method is effective for removing non-cancerous skin lesions up to 30 mm in size.
- causing aesthetic problems that are located on the face, neck, head;
- causing physical discomfort, that is, they compress blood vessels and are located in the groin or armpit area.
Treatment of atheroma at home or in a beauty salon is unacceptable. There is a danger of infection with subsequent inflammation of the cystic cavity, which entails complications in the form of purulent melting of the contents of the neoplasm and an abscess. Inflammatory elements must be eliminated before surgery. Drug treatment of the disease is ineffective. When making a diagnosis, it is important not to confuse atheroma and lipoma; in the first case, an enlarged duct of the sebaceous gland is noticeable. Histological examination helps establish the final diagnosis.
Advantages and disadvantages
The device has certain pros and cons. The benefits include the following:
- almost painless and quick recovery period after the procedure;
- There is no risk of burns among side effects;
- affordable price of the operation;
- if the specialist’s recommendations are followed, then inflammation in the soft tissues is not observed;
- the risk of infection with dangerous bacteria is minimal. This is due to the fact that the radiation from the device is harmful to germs and infections.
This is a fairly safe manipulation that ensures the absence of unpleasant sensations and negative reactions.
Among the disadvantages, there is a small list of restrictions on the procedure . Surgitron cannot be used for the following pathologies:
- epilepsy;
- glaucoma;
- diabetes;
- infectious pathologies.
Such radio wave exposure is not prescribed if the patient is prone to bleeding, with oncology, inflammation, which is in the period of exacerbation.
Features of treatment
The device is successfully used in surgery, dermatology, and gynecology. Surgitron is used for the following procedures:
- cauterization of cervical erosion;
- surgical intervention in dentistry;
- removal of condylomas, moles;
- lipoma excision;
- stopping capillary bleeding;
- removal of papillomas, benign neoplasms, conization of the cervix.
In some cases, the procedure is not performed.
Surgeries are contraindicated in the following conditions:
- period of bearing a child;
- oncology on the skin;
- poor blood clotting or diabetes;
- the presence of infectious and inflammatory pathologies in the area of the internal genital organs;
- uterine bleeding of unknown etiology.
Before the procedure, the patient must undergo tests and consult with the attending physician. Removal is usually performed on an outpatient basis. There is a certain method of conducting therapy . It consists of the following:
- the patient lies down on the couch;
- specialists numb the required area using Lidocaine, ointments, Novocaine;
- The procedure is performed and treated using antiseptic drugs, and a sterile dressing is applied.
Before surgery on the cervix, women are prescribed a gynecological examination. They must undergo tests for microflora, infections and a smear from the cervical canal for cytology.
All patients, without exception, undergo urine and blood tests, tumor markers, testing for hepatitis and HIV infection. If necessary, an ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs and colposcopy may also be prescribed. An allergy test is carried out in advance to determine sensitivity to agents used to disinfect wounds and local anesthesia.
Recovery period
After surgery there is a recovery period. Typically, rehabilitation proceeds without complications and quite quickly. Depending on the body’s reaction and the complexity of the operation, the attending physician sets the duration of the recovery period in an individual case.
If unpleasant symptoms occur within a month after the procedure, the patient should consult a doctor.
The following standard recommendations contribute to rapid healing:
- to speed up the restoration of the skin, you need to use an ointment or healing cream;
- Do not use scrubs or shower gel. You should use only mild baby soap;
- you must avoid cosmetic wraps or massages for 5 days after the procedure;
- You cannot use hygienic tampons during menstruation;
- You should abstain from sexual intercourse for a month;
- after cauterization of erosion, moles or papillomas, you should not swim in open water, visit a solarium, hammam, pool or take a hot bath;
- For two months you need to completely give up physical activity.
Description of laser removal of papillomas
Photo shows laser removal of papillomas
Removing papillomas with a laser involves removing growths using radiation exposure of not very high intensity. To do this, a doctor wearing gloves, using tweezers and a special emitter, acts on the formation for several minutes. As a result, the growth actually evaporates, and this is one of the disadvantages of this method, because after the procedure, if necessary, it is no longer possible to perform a biopsy.
Laser removal of papillomas is unique in that it can be performed on formations of any type and size. Using this technique, you can safely remove growths with a dense, high stem. It is no less effective for combating flat tumors. Moreover, this method is suitable for getting rid of growths of various locations - under the arms, on the neck, arms, legs, face.
Laser therapy is interesting from a safety point of view. During the procedure, practically no complications can arise, unless, of course, you contact an experienced, trusted doctor. Here it is impossible to get burned or become the owner of an ugly scar. Even if some problems arise, they are usually limited to mild inflammation, redness and itching of the tissues, which often go away on their own.
Almost everyone can remove papilloma with a laser; this should be done with caution only during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The only strict contraindications here are oncology and intolerance to laser radiation. In this case, after the procedure, negative consequences in the form of redness, itching, etc. cannot be avoided.
To remove formations, 2-3 sessions are usually sufficient, each of which lasts on average from 10 to 20 minutes. If it is necessary to repeat the procedure, a break of 2-3 days is taken between visits to the doctor to restore the skin. Despite this, this method gives an effect after the first treatment.
A special feature of laser removal of papillomas is the ease of skin care after the procedure; it does not require treatment with special external agents; it may only require the use of antiviral creams and gels, as well as antiseptic solutions. In rare cases, mainly when it comes to complications after the procedure, there is a need for anti-inflammatory and antipruritic ointments.
Laser removal of tumors is affordable and offered in almost any medical center. The procedure is painless and requires only local anesthesia. But still, during its implementation, mild discomfort may occur.
It is also worth noting that laser removal of papillomas does not require special preparation; in the absence of contraindications, it can be performed at any time of the year.
Patient reviews
My mother decided to have a mole removed. Reviews of mole removal with Surgitron have proven that the procedure is safe and very effective. On the appointed day, the doctor took all the necessary tests. There was no discomfort. The crust fell off after the operation on the second day.
Ivan
My cosmetologist recommended removing papilloma with Surgitron. The patient reviews were good, so I decided to do it. Small papillomas were removed without anesthesia. I didn't experience any unpleasant sensations. After the procedure, you must follow the instructions of the specialist.
Anfisa
I read an article on the Internet about removing warts with Surgitron. At the clinic, I was examined by an oncologist surgeon. After this, surgery was scheduled for the next day. The procedure is usually performed while lying down. The area near the wart was injected with lidocaine. I did not notice any painful or unpleasant sensations. The procedure was completed in less than 5 minutes. On the first day after surgery, I was forbidden to be in the sun or get the wound wet. I treated it with Fukortsin solution. A week later the crust fell off. I am very pleased that I decided to undergo such a procedure.
Timur
Large moles bothered me.
A friend told me about the Surgitron radio wave apparatus. Reviews of its action were positive. Before surgery, a specialist must examine the mole for the presence of cancer. Removal was carried out in a horizontal position. An anesthetic injection of Lidocaine was given. The procedure itself is painless, I didn’t feel anything. In general, a mole is removed in 30 seconds. It was forbidden to be in the sun for a month. The wound should not be wetted or sealed. After 2 days a crust formed and fell off on its own. I recommend this procedure. Irina
How is surgery performed using radio waves?
The radio wave method of operation is carried out using the Surgitron apparatus, also called a radio wave scalpel. How does he work? Electricity can be transformed into waves, the device collects them into a beam that gently cuts through body tissue. When high-frequency waves penetrate the tissue, where resistance occurs and heat is released, due to which dissection occurs. High-frequency energy, concentrated at the end of the radio scalpel, activates molecular energy inside the cells, which provokes heating of the tissue and evaporation of pathogenic cells. Thus, the atheroma is completely evaporated along with the capsule.
During the operation, the radio knife does not come into direct contact with the skin, minimizing trauma to the skin and ensuring coagulation. When removing small cysts, the postoperative incision is sealed with adhesive tape. After removal of larger tumors, sutures are applied, which are removed after 5–7 days. The absence of incisions during surgery is a myth. Tumor removal involves removing all elements of the tumor from the patient’s body. This is only possible if the integrity of the skin is damaged.
Recovery period
Recovery after removal of atheroma using the method described above occurs quickly. The postoperative incision or suture heals within 1–2 weeks. The patient is not given a sick leave, they are given recommendations for self-treatment of the wound, and special care from medical personnel is not required. You should not be in the sun until you have completely recovered; when going outside, the skin in the area of the incision must be lubricated with a product with UV protection. To avoid the reappearance of atheroma, the victim needs to minimize the factors that cause this disease. It is recommended to consult an endocrinologist to eliminate metabolic problems and hormonal imbalances. A healthy lifestyle, adherence to certain nutritional rules and moderate physical activity will strengthen the immune system and help normalize metabolic processes in the body.
