Electrosurgery
Electrosurgery is a medical technique that uses high-frequency electrical currents to cut tissue or coagulate blood during surgical procedures. This method allows for precise incisions and minimizes bleeding, making it a valuable tool in various surgeries, including dermatology and orthopedics.
The process involves a device called an electrosurgical generator, which produces the electrical energy. Surgeons use specialized instruments, such as electrodes, to deliver the current to the targeted area. Electrosurgery can enhance recovery times and reduce the risk of infection compared to traditional surgical methods.
