  2. Diathermy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diathermy

    Diathermy. Diathermy is electrically induced heat or the use of high-frequency electromagnetic currents as a form of physical therapy and in surgical procedures. The earliest observations on the reactions of the human organism to high-frequency electromagnetic currents were made by Jacques Arsene d'Arsonval. [1][2][3] The field was pioneered in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_applications_of...

    RF diathermy is a medical treatment that uses RF induced heat as a form of physical therapy and in surgical procedures. It is commonly used for muscle relaxation. It is also a method of heating tissue electromagnetically for therapeutic purposes in medicine. Diathermy is used in physical therapy to deliver moderate heat directly to pathologic ...

  4. Radiofrequency ablation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiofrequency_ablation

    Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz). [2][3] RFA is generally conducted in the ...

  5. Electrosurgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrosurgery

    Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency (radio frequency) alternating polarity, electrical current to biological tissue as a means to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] (These terms are used in specific ways for this methodology—see below.) Its benefits include the ability to make precise cuts ...

  6. Cyclodestruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclodestruction

    Cyclodestruction or cycloablation is a surgical procedure done in management of glaucoma. Cyclodestruction reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye by decreasing production of aqueous humor by the destruction of ciliary body. Until the development of safer and less destructive techniques like micropulse diode cyclophotocoagulation and ...

  7. Ovarian drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovarian_drilling

    Ovarian drilling. Ovarian drilling, also known as multiperforation or laparoscopic ovarian diathermy, is a surgical technique of puncturing the membranes surrounding the ovary with a laser beam or a surgical needle using minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. [1] It differs from ovarian wedge resection, which involves the cutting of tissue.

  9. Cauterization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauterization

    Cauterization. Cauterization (or cauterisation, or cautery) is a medical practice or technique of burning a part of a body to remove or close off a part of it. It destroys some tissue in an attempt to mitigate bleeding and damage, remove an undesired growth, or minimize other potential medical harm, such as infections when antibiotics are ...
