Manual Of Rf Techniques By Dr. Charles A. Gauci Md May 2026

Leading voices in dermatologic surgery have praised the manual:

"Dr. Gauci has done for RF what Goldman did for lasers—he created a universal language. This manual sits on my procedure cart, not my bookshelf." — Dr. Lisa M. Donofrio, MD (Yale Dermatology)

"Before Gauci, RF techniques were tribal knowledge. Now, they are scientific protocol." — Dr. Maurizio Podda, European Academy of Dermatology MANUAL OF RF TECHNIQUES By Dr. Charles A. Gauci MD

There is a reason senior attendings can tell the gauge of a needle just by the “feel” of the stylet. This manual breaks down the engineering of RF kits. Dr. Gauci details how active tip lengths affect lesion size in different tissues (bone vs. disc vs. nerve). He argues convincingly that choosing the wrong cannula is the most common technical error in RF pain management.

There is an old adage in medicine: “Watch one, do one, teach one.” But when it comes to Radiofrequency (RF) ablation and neuromodulation, that adage can be dangerous. The difference between a perfect lesion and a catastrophic complication is often measured in millimeters and impedance shifts.

For years, the field of interventional pain management lacked a definitive, no-nonsense guide to the physics and finesse of RF. That changed with the publication of the Manual of RF Techniques by Dr. Charles A. Gauci, MD.

If you have ever struggled with a thermocouple reading, questioned the angle of your cannula for a medial branch block, or wondered why a pulsed RF setting works differently than conventional RF, this is the text you have been waiting for.

Dr. Charles Gauci is widely recognized as a leading authority in the field of interventional pain medicine. This manual serves as a definitive practical guide to Radiofrequency (RF) ablation and neurolysis. It is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical physics and clinical application, providing practitioners with the "how-to" protocols for safely managing chronic pain conditions using RF technology.
