A term used for the destruction of tissue or blood vessels, there are two types of instrument, mono and bi polar, the end result is the same.
A surgical treatment in which electric current is used to remove growths. Newer techniques of electrocautery are called loop electrosurgical excision procedures (LEEP), in which low voltage radio waves are used to remove growths.
cauterization using electircal current
application of a needle heated by an electric current to destroy tissue (as to remove warts)
Term used by surgeons to describe a method to destroy or coagulate blood vessels or tissue.
A procedure in which an instrument is activated with electric current to destroy tissue.
A procedure that uses an electrical current to create heat. This is sometimes used to remove lesions or control bleeding.
A process in which electricity is used to cauterize or destroy tissues.
A device in which an electric current is used to heat a treatment instrument or probe. The heated probe cauterizes capillary vessels and small arteries, thus minimizing blood loss during surgery. Also called thermal cautery, this device does not transfer any electric current to the patient.
a method of destroying lesions or tissue and sealing off blood vessels using a high frequency electric current.
the use of electrical currents to stop bleeding during surgery.
An electrical current that produces heat in order to destroy tissue.
The application of electrical currents to stop bleeding during surgery.
a process to destroy tissue, such as warts, using an electric current applied by a needle.
An instrument for cauterizing (burning with heat or chemical in order to close a wound) tissue in which a platinum wire is heated by a current of electricity.
Cauterization using electrical current.
