What is Liver Tumors Disease?
Dr. Aakash Patel, a Vascular and Interventional Radiologist in Ahmedabad, treats liver tumors. The liver is an important organ that helps with digestion, nutrient storage, and detoxification. Liver tumors can be benign or malignant, with malignant tumors potentially spreading to other parts of the body. These growths can cause health issues and affect the liver's functions. Dr. Aakash Patel uses image-guided techniques to diagnose and treat liver tumors, providing personalized care to each patient based on their specific condition and needs.
Dr. Aakash Patel provides treatment options for liver tumors, including both types of growths, using minimally invasive, image-guided methods.

What is Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation Treatment
Dr. Aakash Patel uses a treatment called Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) to target and destroy liver tumors. This image-guided procedure involves inserting a probe through the liver tissue into the tumor under ultrasound guidance. The probe delivers high-frequency electrical currents directly to the tumor site, with the aim of destroying the abnormal cells. By utilizing RFA, Dr. Patel can provide a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with inoperable primary or metastatic liver tumors, which may improve outcomes and quality of life in suitable patients.
How We Process
Dr. Aakash Patel provides radiofrequency (RF) ablation for Liver Tumors, a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. This treatment usually takes less than an hour, and many patients go home the same or next day.
Here's what to expect during your Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation Treatment for Liver Tumors:
- Upon arrival, you'll be provided with a comfortable hospital gown and positioned on the exam table, which will be adjusted for optimal access to the treatment area. Special protective measures will be taken for your safety and comfort.
- Dr. Patel will begin by administering a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Using image guidance such as ultrasound or CT, he will carefully locate the liver tumor before and during the procedure.
- A small incision will be made to insert a specialized probe into the liver tumor. Radiofrequency energy will be delivered through this probe, heating and destroying the tumor cells. The goal is to ablate the tumor tissue effectively.
- After the procedure, a small bandage will be applied to the incision site. The incision is minimal, so stitches are usually not needed, and the bandage will provide sufficient protection as the area heals.
At Dr. Aakash Patel's practice, patient comfort and safety are a priority. RF ablation for Liver Tumors aims to keep downtime short; all procedures carry some risk, which is explained before treatment.
