Dr. Kandil Performs First OR-Based Nanosecond Pulsed Field Ablation in the US

May 23, 2025

Our endocrine surgery division is full of firsts!

Dr. Kandil recently performed the country’s first hospital OR-based nanosecond pulsed field ablation (nsPFA) at LCMC Lakeside Hospital, using technology developed by Pulse Biosciences, Inc.

Such a procedure was used to deliver non-thermal ablation to eliminate benign thyroid nodules without open incisions or damage to nearby structures, advancing progress towards minimally invasive treatment for thyroid disease. Read more about the milestone here.

We’re looking forward to the future impacts of nsPFA!
