1. electrosurgery

   Electrosurgery is a type of surgical method in which high-frequency electric current is used to cut tissue, coagulate blood vessels, or remove or destroy abnormal tissue. This technique minimizes bleeding during surgical procedures and can often result in less pain, less scarring and quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgical techniques. Common types of electrosurgery include electrocauterization and electrocoagulation.

1. Electrosurgery

   Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency electric current to biological tissue as a means to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue. Its benefits include the ability to make precise cuts with limited blood loss. Electrosurgical devices are frequently used during surgical operations helping to prevent blood loss in hospital operating rooms or in outpatient procedures. In electrosurgical procedures, the tissue is heated by an electric current. Although electrical devices may be used for the cauterization of tissue in some applications, electrosurgery is usually used to refer to a quite different method than electrocautery. The latter uses heat conduction from a probe heated to a glowing temperature by a direct current. This may be accomplished by direct current from dry-cells in a penlight-type device. Electrosurgery, by contrast, uses alternating current to directly heat the tissue itself. When this results in destruction of small blood vessels and halting of bleeding, it is technically a process of electrocoagulation, although "electrocautery" is sometimes loosely and nontechnically used to describe it.
