Radio wave gynecology with the Surgitron device

Radio wave gynecology using the Surgitron device is a modern method of treating gynecological diseases. The device operates on high-frequency radio waves, which allows removing affected tissue with high precision and minimal damage to surrounding areas. One of the main advantages of the Surgitron is the minimal risk of scarring. The device is suitable for women planning pregnancy. Patients note a quick recovery and no need for a long hospital stay.

What is radio wave surgery?

Radio wave surgery is a minimally invasive treatment method in which tissues are cut using high-frequency radio waves. Heating with radio waves allows for quick, accurate and painless work. The device is widely used in gynecology for the treatment of cervical erosion, removal of papillomas and other neoplasms. A special feature of the technique is the preservation of the integrity of growths and tumors for histological examination.

The operating principle of the Surgitron device

The Surgitron device operates using high-frequency radio waves (3.8–4.0 MHz), which heat tissue cells, evaporating the liquid inside them. The steam coagulates the vessels and prevents bleeding.

The radio wave method not only gently affects the tissues, but also sterilizes the surgical area, which reduces the risk of infections. Healing occurs faster, since the vessels and healthy tissues are practically not damaged.

The operating principle of the Surgitron device

Features of the Surgitron device

The Surgitron radio wave device supports several modes that are selected depending on the type of procedure:

  • CUT — for thin, precise cuts without severe tissue damage
  • BLEND — simultaneous cutting and cauterization to prevent bleeding
  • COAG — used to coagulate small vessels
  • FULGURATE — destroys tissue simultaneously with coagulation
  • BIPOLAR — bipolar coagulation for working with larger vessels

When using the Surgitron device in gynecology, tissue damage is minimal due to the so-called "cold cut". High-frequency radio waves heat tissue less than electrosurgery or lasers, which reduces the risk of burns and inflammation. Radio wave coagulation instantly stops bleeding, allows the doctor to work in a clean and clearly visible surgical field, removing damaged areas in one go.

Comparison of radio wave surgery and laser therapy

Let's consider two popular therapeutic methods in gynecology:

Characteristics Radio wave surgery Laser therapy
Principle of action High-frequency radio waves destroy tissues, evaporate cellular fluid. Concentrated light heats tissues, evaporating or destroying them.
Accuracy Very high, healthy tissues are practically not affected. High, but greater thermal exposure can damage adjacent tissues.
Bleeding Vascular coagulation reduces the risk of bleeding. The risk of bleeding is minimized, but sometimes additional coagulation measures are required.
Application areas Treatment of erosion, polyps, dysplasia, removal of condylomas and papillomas. Removal of skin neoplasms, treatment of endometriosis, fibroids and others pathologies.
Cost Affordable, as it requires less expensive equipment. Often more expensive due to the high cost of the device and consumables.
Recovery time Fast, minimal complications due to gentle impact. Longer due to possible burns and thermal damage.

At the K+31 clinic in Moscow, doctors use both methods: radio wave surgery and laser therapy. You can sign up for a consultation and check prices on the website or by phone. We are always ready to help!

General information

Preparation for the intervention

Radio wave surgery is best performed on the 5th-10th day of the menstrual cycle. During this period, the tissues of the cervix recover faster.

Before radio wave intervention in gynecology, a comprehensive diagnosis is carried out, which includes:

  • Examination by a gynecologist. The doctor evaluates the condition of the cervix and selects the optimal treatment method
  • Colposcopy. Examination of the cervix under magnification helps to detect minor pathological changes
  • Ultrasound of the pelvic organs. Shows the condition of the uterus and ovaries
  • Smears. Studies on flora, cytology and infections, including HPV and chlamydia
  • General blood and urine tests. To assess the general health
  • Tests for HIV, hepatitis, syphilis. Helps detect infectious diseases
  • ECG. Recommended for women over 40 with heart disease
  • Fluorography. Performed as a preventive measure if the image has not been taken within a year

Standard hygiene procedures must be performed before radio wave surgery. Shaving the hair on the genitals is not required. It is recommended to refrain from intimacy 2-3 days before the procedure. This reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

How is radio wave treatment performed?

Before radio wave surgery, the doctor applies an anesthetic gel or spray to numb the area of intervention. Then radio wave surgery includes the following stages:

  1. The patient is positioned in a chair. Gynecological speculums are installed to access the cervix
  2. The doctor inserts an electrode connected to the Surgitron device. It generates radio waves that heat the tissue and remove pathological areas
  3. The specialist monitors the accuracy of the radio wave exposure and the patient's condition. If necessary, coagulation of blood vessels is performed to prevent bleeding

After treating all affected areas with a radio wave device, the doctor checks the result again and removes the gynecological speculums. Then he gives the patient recommendations for further care and rehabilitation.

Recovery and recommendations after radio wave treatment

After using radio wave surgery in gynecology, minor bloody or serous discharge is possible. They can last 7-14 days and are considered normal. If the discharge becomes too abundant or is accompanied by an unpleasant odor, you should contact your doctor.

Other features of rehabilitation after radio wave surgery include:

  • Limitation of physical activity. For 2-4 weeks, heavy physical activity should be excluded
  • Abstinence from sexual intercourse. You can return to full sexual activity no earlier than after 4-6 weeks
  • Hygiene care. After treatment, refuse tampons and vaginal suppositories, douching. For personal hygiene, use only mild products without aggressive components
  • Bathing and visiting saunas. For a month, refrain from bathing in a hot bath, swimming pools, open water, and visiting baths and saunas. Hot water and a humid environment slow down the healing process and increase the risk of infection.

After 4-6 weeks, be sure to visit a gynecologist to check your condition. The doctor will assess how the recovery processes are going and rule out possible complications.

Indications for radio wave treatment

Radio wave surgery has a number of indications:

  • Cervical erosion is damage to the surface of the cervix caused by inflammation or infection
  • Cervicitis is inflammation of the cervix, which is accompanied by discharge, pelvic pain, vaginal itching, frequent urination
  • Polyps of the cervix and vagina are benign formations on the mucous membrane
  • Condylomas are formations on the skin and mucous membranes caused by the human papillomavirus
  • Papillomas are soft growths associated with HPV activity
  • Nevi, moles are pigmented formations on the skin that require removal due to injury or change in shape
  • Hymenoplasty is restoration hymen
  • Biopsy - tissue sampling for diagnosis of precancerous and malignant changes
  • Cicatricial deformation of the cervix - tissue compaction and change after trauma or surgery

The method is also used for labiaplasty (correction of the shape or size of the labia).

Contraindications to radio wave surgery

Radio wave surgery in gynecology is not used in the presence of the following restrictions:

  • Pregnancy. Radio waves negatively affect the health of the fetus
  • Pacemaker. High-frequency waves disrupt the operation of the device
  • Malignant neoplasms. If cancer is suspected, a diagnosis must be clarified
  • Acute infections and inflammations, such as cervicitis or inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs
  • Blood clotting disorders. Increases the risk of bleeding
  • Menstruation or spotting. The procedure is postponed until the end of menstruation
  • Intrauterine device. Complicates the treatment process
  • Mental disorders. They cause difficulties with the perception of the procedure and following the doctor's recommendations

In addition, decompensated diabetes mellitus is a contraindication to the use of the radio wave method. It slows down healing and increases the risk of complications.

Advantages of radio wave surgery in gynecology

The advantages of radio wave surgery with the Surgitron device in gynecology "K+31" include:

  • Accuracy and minimal damage. Radio waves affect only the affected tissues, without affecting healthy areas
  • Quick recovery. After procedures with radio waves, patients return to active life in 1-2 days. The surgical area heals within 7-10 days
  • Absence of scars. The radio wave method does not leave scars
