	Electrocautery
		Electrocautery is the process of burning or destroying tissue by use of a small probe with an electric current running through it.
		A technology assessment by the ASGE explored the use of electrocautery in patients with pacemakers and found that although pacemakers have been shown to malfunction during surgery, there is no evidence of such malfunction during gastrointestinal endoscopy.
		Because electrocautery snare excision in polypectomy is associated with occasional bleeding and thermal injury, several other options have been studied to reduce these side effects.

	Electrocautery for genital warts
		Electrocautery removes genital warts on the penis, vulva, or around the anus by burning them with a low-voltage electrified probe.
		Electrocautery is usually done in a health professional's office or clinic.
		Electrocautery for external genital warts can be safely used during pregnancy.

		The extent of effects of electrocautery on bronchial tissue are still unknown, and there could be a possible hazard of bronchial wall perforation.
		Normal mucosa was treated at a single spot (the probe was not moved during coagulation) at four different carinae in the part of the bronchial tree to be resected.
		Electrocautery was applied using a electrocautery device (Erbe; Tubingen, Germany), with a high-frequency alternating electrical current with a power setting of 30 W and a variable duration of energy application for each particular lesion (1, 2, 3, and 5 s).

	Less Pain and Quicker Recovery with Coblation Assisted Tonsillectomy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Electrocautery tonsillectomy was performed using traditional subcapsular tonsil dissection with the Bovie set at 20 watts.
		Surgeries performed in conjunction with electrocautery tonsillectomy included 17 bilateral tympanostomy tubes, two maxillary sinus lavages, one frenuloplasty, and one excision of tongue mucocele.
		Fewer parents missed work in the Coblation group compared to the electrocautery group, however this was not statistically significant.

	CHEST: Electrocautery in Endobronchial Therapy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		My personal experience, in an institution that employed electrocautery, Nd-YAG laser, and brachytherapy, supports their conclusion that the cost of electrocautery is small in comparison to other endobronchial techniques.
		We began using electrocautery to treat endobronchial disease when no other endobronchial method was available.[2] In the early 1980s, patients seeking treatment often were referred to us because of the lack of any other options for rapid treatment.
		Electrocautery was left for another time, its role unconfirmed and uncertain.

	Dr. Koop - Intestinal Polyps- Health Encyclopedia and Reference
		Polyps of the colon and rectum are treated because they produce symptoms, because they may be malignant when first discovered, or because they may become malignant later.
		Small polyps can be removed with an electrocautery snare passed through a rigid or flexible sigmoidoscope, but since total colonoscopy is recommended in all patients who have a polyp, it is best to wait and do the polypectomy in a well-prepared colon during that procedure.
		Pedunculated polyps and small sessile lesions in the sigmoid and above should be removed with biopsy forceps or an electrocautery snare passed through the colonoscope.

	Clinical Trial: Electrocautery for Kidney Cancer
		Electrocautery is a non-surgical procedure that uses heat to kill the tumor.
		Patients whose tumor cells are destroyed by electrocautery may not need surgery, or may have their surgery delayed.

	Tissue Response after Arthroscopic Surgery with Electrocautery in Sheep TMJ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Electrocautery was inserted into the inner channel and the tip placed directly against the synovial membrane of the posterior pouch and the surface was injured from medial to lateral walls by electrocautery with a power of 125 watts.
		The tip is then placed against the articular surface of the tuber which was damaged from medial to lateral part with electrocautery until the underlining bone was exposed.
		Conclusions: It was suggested that an arthroscopic lysis with electrocautery agaist the synovial membrane of the posterior pouch was induced the osteoarthritic change of sheep TMJ.

	Investor's Business Daily: Breaking News
		Coblation Tonsillectomy is a low-temperature procedure (40 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit) that utilizes radiofrequency energy in combination with a saline solution to gently and precisely remove tonsil tissue without damaging surrounding tissue.
		Electrocautery utilizes heat (over 400 degrees Fahrenheit) to burn and char the tonsil tissue, which often leads to a long and painful recovery.
		Also being presented are results of a prospective, randomized, double-blind and controlled study entitled, "Randomized Controlled Trial of Coblation versus Electrocautery Tonsillectomy," authored by Dr. Kay Chang, assistant professor of pediatric otolaryngology at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA.

		The electrocautery is a device that creates large electrical currents that arc from the tip of the pen (it has a large generator + a pen-like wand) to the ground.
		With the electrocautery it's strange since although the procedure is extremely painful, there is no post-injury pain.

		However, there is also a tendency to develop new lesions.
		Warts are treated by surgical excision (sometimes by electrocautery), bloodless removal by freezing with liquid nitrogen, or repeated applications of ointments or creams.
		Those on the soles of the feet (plantar warts) are the most painful and most difficult to treat, since on pressure-bearing areas they may become depressed beneath the surface of the skin.
