electrosurgery
Electrosurgery is a medical technique that uses high-frequency electrical currents to cut, coagulate, or remove tissue during surgical procedures. This method allows for precise control and minimizes bleeding by sealing blood vessels as they are cut. It is commonly used in various surgeries, including dermatological and gynecological procedures.
The equipment used in electrosurgery includes a generator and specialized instruments, such as electrodes or diathermy devices. Surgeons can adjust the power settings to suit the specific needs of the procedure, making it a versatile tool in modern medicine. Electrosurgery is generally safe and effective when performed by trained professionals.
