Application of a needle or snare heated by an electric current to destroy tissue (e.g., to remove warts).<\/p>\n

\n

A surgical instrument that uses an electrical current to remove abnormal or diseased tissue or to control bleeding from small blood vessels. Also known as electrocoagulation, the device consists of a platinum wire that becomes white- or red-hot when an electrical current passes through it.<\/p>\n

\n

The destruction of diseased or unwanted tissue by means of a needle or snare that is electrically heated. Warts, polyps, and other growths can be burned away by this method; the electricity does not pass through the tissues themselves.<\/p>\n

\n

The use of an electrically heated needle or loop to destroy diseased or unwanted tissue. Benign growths, warts and polyps can be removed with this technique.<\/p>\n

\n

The employment of a diminutive electrical instrument, operating at a low voltage, with the intention of excising tissue via the method of cauterization, which involves controlled burning.<\/p>\n
