electrocoagulation
Heat-sealing blood vessels
Electrocoagulation is a medical technique that uses electrical current to cause blood clotting or tissue destruction.
Surgeons use it to seal blood vessels during operations, stop bleeding, or remove abnormal tissue.
In dermatology, electrocoagulation destroys warts, skin tags, and small tumors: The doctor removed the lesion by electrocoagulation.
