Summary
The provider performs irreversible electroporation ablation via an open procedure that involves inserting a probe to the area of the tumor and sending very short (microseconds) but strong nonthermal electrical pulses to punch holes in (permeabilize) the cells’ membranes to destroy the cells and prevent them from dividing; he treats one or more tumors per organ. Imaging guidance is included, so do not report it separately.
