Fig. 7C. —Complications from radiofrequency ablation of thoracic
lesions and their management. Photograph of sitting 64-year-old man who
suffered immediate posterior skin burn (arrow) on his left mid back
at site of entrance of radiofrequency probe and initial localizing 22-gauge
needle. Needle was left in place during radiofrequency ablation in this
patient, early in our experience. This presumably resulted in retrograde burn
that injured skin. Patient needed surgical débridement that eventually
led to healing.
