Fulguration, a word commonly used in medical terminology, means the destruction of abnormal tissues or cells using electricity. There are several other synonyms used for fulguration, including cauterization, electrocoagulation, electrocautery, and diathermy. These words represent the same medical procedure that uses high-frequency electrical current to remove or destroy tissues. While these terms may differ slightly in their application or technique, they share the same ultimate goal of eliminating abnormal growths, such as tumors, warts, polyps, or lesions. The utilization of these synonyms may depend on a medical professional's preference or the specific context of the clinical setting.
