The Technique of Radio Surgery involves the passage of high frequency radio waves (2MHz) through soft tissue to cut, coagulate, or remove the tissue. Soft tissue resistance to these radio waves causes the cellular water in the soft tissue to heat, which produces steam, and results in cellular molecular dissolution of individual tissue cells. The surgeon uses a handpiece with an active electrode (different types of electrode for different applications) to transmit the radio waves. The radio waves are focused on the tissue by an antenna plate (Patient plate) that is positioned behind the tissue in contact with patient's skin. Radio frequency is not to be confused with electro-surgery machine (surgical diathermy) or spark gap circuitry unit (electro- cautery) and uses completely new technique.
