What is another word for electrosurgery?
Pronunciation: [ɪlˌɛktɹə͡ʊsˈɜːd͡ʒəɹi] (IPA) 
Electrosurgery involves tissue cutting and coagulation using electrical current. There are several synonyms for the term such as electrocautery, radiofrequency ablation, electrodessication, electrocoagulation, and fulguration. Electrocautery is a method that uses high-frequency electricity to remove or cut tissue in surgery. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses heat generated by a high-frequency current to destroy abnormal tissue. Electrodessiccation involves applying an electric current to the skin's surface to burn and remove it. Electrocoagulation, on the other hand, uses low voltage high-frequency electric currents to control bleeding during surgery. Fulguration is a method of destroying tissue by using an electric current that is suitable for small skin growths.
