Employees of the Medical Electronics Laboratory at Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU) NETI have developed a method for removing tumors with high-frequency electromagnetic radiation.
The method is characterized by a high speed of excision of malignant neoplasms, bloodless surgery, coagulation of the edges of the incision, and rapid tissue healing.
According to Svetlana Belavskaya, Candidate of Technical Sciences, biological tissues are currently removed in two ways: radiofrequency and microwave ablation. In the first case, current passes through the patient's body, and in the second, high-frequency electromagnetic radiation is used. The method proposed by NSTU specialists is safer, she emphasized.
Tissue resection to a depth of 10 mm is carried out in 7 seconds, that is, the result is obtained with minimal impact on surrounding tissues
To conduct the experiments, the developers designed a high-frequency electromagnetic system. Dmitry Kuleshov, a graduate student at NSTU, tested it on laboratory mice. The rodents had no bleeding, and the wound healed quickly after resection. Now scientists plan to conduct more tests on biopsy samples (material obtained by biopsy - editor's note www1.ru) and living organisms.
Earlier in the Moscow region, doctors removed a malignant tumor from a patient's kidney using the Razum AI system.
