electrosurgery

Electrosurgery is a medical technique that uses high-frequency electrical currents to cut or coagulate tissue during surgery. It works by directing electrical energy through a special instrument, which can either slice through tissue or seal blood vessels to minimize bleeding. This method is often used in various procedures, including skin surgeries, removing tumors, and other general operations. Electrosurgery can lead to less bleeding, reduced scarring, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods. Surgeons often prefer it for its precision and effectiveness in controlling tissue responses.
