Kevin T. Watkins, MD, chief of upper gastrointestinal and general oncologic surgery at Stony Brook University Hospital, on Long Island, is a pioneer using irreversible electroporation (IRE) to remove pancreatic tumors. Dr. Watkins was the first surgeon in the world to use IRE technology to treat pancreatic cancer. In the past two years he has treated more than 20 patients with pancreatic cancer at Stony Brook with IRE, some who traveled thousands of miles to Stony Brook for the surgery. The treatment is a last-hope option for patients who have run out of other options, and whose cancer has not spread to other areas of the body.
banana nightline or a surgical liberation system is the first to use a
reversible electroporation also known as pylori to treat soft-tissue lesions
two or more nando knife iri disposable electrodes are positioned n or around
the lesion and an electrical field is created between and in a series of micro
second pulses which induces cell death in the encompassed soft-tissue unlike
crier lovelace in or radiofrequency ablation which use thermal treatment to
destroy tissue iri treats without exposing tissue too extreme cold or heat
eliminating a major cause of treatment failure
and possible damage to normal tissue
i retrieve similar volumes of tissue to our essay and cry or surgery typically
in a fraction of the time less than four minutes for a four by three centimeter
volume
nana night iri treatment
is minimally invasive and is performed under general anesthesia with ultrasound
or c_t_ guidance
pre-operative imaging allows precise calculation of the tissue volume and
shape to be treated
and age the planning of appropriate positioning for the man alive iri
electrodes
another night the higher retrenchment consists of a series of ninety extremely
short electrical pulses it's less than one hundred millions of a second
cell death is induced within seconds and the patient can often be released from
the hospital the same day
mennonite iri treatment induces cell death in soft-tissue only
nandan ivory electrodes are placed in proximity to the targeted lesion
but unlike thermal insulation technologies surrounding critical
structures including nerves and blood vessels remain functional
during treatment met a nice unique action
opens prominent nanoscience pores in the cell membrane
causing irreversible damage which rapidly induces unnatural cell death
after nine tonight iri treatment cells that form the nerves blood vessels and
other collection is tissues in the treated area remain viable reducing the
risk of damage to the structures
microscopic imaging after treatment reveals a sharply delineated separation
between affected and unaffected cells
the net on i've treated area begins to resolve immediately after the procedure
as the bodies normal healing response produces cells that engulfed and remove
treated cells from the region much like the healing process of a bruise
doppler ultrasound imaging
during then tonight the blaze and demonstrates that they can see of blood
vessels as small as one millimeter in diameter into treated area
thirty days after nine tonight surgical affliction
c_t_ and ultrasound imaging reveal a mostly normal appearance
with little remaining evidence of the i_r_a_ treatment
as seen on imaging critical structures continue to function normally
blood flow in the treated area dates healing and minimizes potential
treatment side effects
