Cautery
Definition:
(n.) A burning or searing, as of morbid flesh, with a hot iron, or by application of a caustic that will burn, corrode, or destroy animal tissue.
(n.) The iron of other agent in cauterizing.
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.

(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.
