Radio-surgery now has an established place throughout the world in dermatology, gynaecology, facial and cosmetic surgery, vascular and podiatric practice. Its use in minor surgery is increasing rapidly and it can now achieve far more superior results than other more conventional surgical techniques.

Radio-surgery is a procedure in which tissue is removed or destroyed by electrical energy. This energy is converted to heat as a result of tissue resistance but, unlike electrocautery, the heat is generated in the tissues themselves and the actual electrode remains cold.
