Example Sentences:
(1) Treatment of HPV lesions (e.g., cryosurgery, cautery, etc.)
(2) Since no evaluation of the relative merits of electro and chemical cautery has been reported, a prospective randomized study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of electro-cautery and cautery with silver nitrate.
(3) The method is considered safer than hysteroscopic sterilization since the cautery tip cannot pass through the uterotubal juction.
(4) Meticulous handling of the graft (using a Goeller trephine and Tenon's traction sutures), filleting Tenon's capsule and avoiding cautery of the graft bed may minimize graft necrosis and atrophy.
(5) The use of a malleable curved disposable suction cautery for the control of any persistent bleeding at the conclusion of adenoidectomy in over 1000 cases has prevented any primary postoperative hemorrhages from the nasopharynx, and obviated the need for post-nasal packing.
(6) Cautery off the midline produced asymmetries in the pattern of pupal commitment; when placed close to the midline, such cauteries prevented pupal commitment in the region "downstream" of the cautery, suggesting that a signal (diffusible or transducible) emanates from the midline.
(7) At surgery left XIth intercostal nerve had been injured by cautery.
(8) Of the 8 women who had futile laparotomies, 4 had unilateral salpingectomy and a contralateral Pomeroy ligation, but insufficient tube remained for reversal; 2 others had single-burn cautery, but had insufficient tube length, and the Pomeroy procedures in 2 others left insufficient distal tissue.
(9) In the second study, 300 women were randomly allocated to the Hulka clip or to unipolar electrocoagulation (cautery) via laparoscopy; 70.0% of the women from this study returned for a long-term follow-up visit.

(12) Effects of electrical stimulation or cautery of the tectum on the flash-evoked response of fiber bundles, via the efferents were marginal, but repetitive stimulation or section of the optic nerve produced clear-cut deficits in the slow components of the flash-evoked response of the nerve.
(13) The bubble is visualized through a gastroscope and deflated using bicap cautery.
(14) All follicles visible on the ovary were ablated by cautery and ewes were treated with oestradiol or ovine follicular fluid (oFF) to suppress FSH or with PMSG to increase circulating gonadotrophic activity.
(15) Both laser and thermal cautery are similarly effective in completely occluding puncta in animals.
