A growing number of patients are being diagnosed with an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas. The management of these lesions can be complicated, and we thought it would be helpful if we provided general answers to the most common questions our patients have about intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms.
Patients who received radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins reported less post-procedural pain than those treated with endovenous laser ablation. However, both groups reported the same clinical and quality of life improvements at six weeks. Share:
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. (Ablation means a doctor uses heat to damage tissue, which makes scar tissue form. This scar tissue closes the vein.) This technique uses radiofrequency energy (instead of laser energy) to heat up and damage the wall inside a vein.
