Radiosurgical units are a type of electrosurgery that uses radio frequency generators to destroy specific areas of tissue with radiation.

They consist of a transformer, a power supply, an amplifier, a rectifier, and various electrical circuits.

Evolution

The development of radiosurgery started in the early 20th century with the revolution of radiofrequency energy in surgical techniques.
Initially used in human medicine, the technology was adapted for veterinary use, providing significant advancements in animal care.
Modern radiological units are highly sophisticated, offering various settings and attachments to cater to different surgical needs.

Types

Monopolar Units: Feature a single active electrode, commonly used for cutting and coagulation in general surgeries.
Bipolar Units: Utilize two electrodes, ideal for precise coagulation and minimizing thermal damage in sensitive areas.
Portable Units: Compact, easy to transport, and perfect for mobile veterinary practices or field surgeries.

Uses

Radiosurgical units are used for tumor removal, ensuring clean margins.
They are ideal for soft tissue surgeries, including spaying and neutering.
These units facilitate biopsies, allowing for accurate tissue sampling with minimal discomfort for the animal.
