Ep. 90 Thermoprotection Techniques in Musculoskeletal Ablations Part II with Dr. Alan Sag
How to stay cool when a thermal ablation case gets complicated? Your toolbox can make all the difference. In this episode of the BackTable MSK Podcast, Dr. Alan Sag returns with host Dr. Jacob Fleming to continue the discussion on thermal protection in musculoskeletal ablation procedures. Part 2 focuses on real-world cases to provide practical insights and illustrate decision-making in complex thermal ablation cases.

SYNPOSIS
Dr. Sag and Dr. Fleming discuss thermoprotection strategies in real-world cases, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of inoperable rectal cancer and sacral metastases near nerve roots. They also discuss the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, emerging technologies in the field, and the role of intraoperative neuromonitoring.
