Patient Indication
As with any medical procedure there are risks. However, since the biacuplasty procedure is minimally invasive, the risks are lower than surgery.
Potential risks include:
- In rare cases, radiofrequency procedures have caused burns at the site of insertion of the introducer needles.
- Due to the rarity of these cases it is believed that such events may be caused by operator error.
- Nerve injury is a potential risk of the procedure. However, having the patient in a state of conscious sedation, where they are able to verbally communicate any unwanted sensations reduces the risk of this occurrence.
