William T. Bovie (September 11, 1882 – January 1, 1958) was an American scientist and inventor. He is credited with conceptualizing the field of biophysics and with inventing a modern medical device known as the Bovie electrosurgical generator.
Although electrical devices that create a heated probe may be used for the cauterization of tissue in some applications, electrosurgery refers to a different method than electrocautery. Electrocautery uses heat conduction from a probe heated to a high temperature by a direct electrical current (much in the manner of a soldering iron). This may ...
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 unavailable.
Postpolypectomy coagulation syndrome (Postpolypectomy syndrome or PPCS) is a condition that occurs following colonoscopy with electrocautery polypectomy, which results in a burn injury to the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. The condition results in abdominal pain, fever, elevated white blood cell count and elevated serum C-reactive protein.
Ablation using Electrocautery – The uterus is visualized using a thin scope. A tool is passed through the scope, such as a wire loop, a probe with a rollerball tip, or a probe with an electrode tip. The uterine lining is removed or destroyed by the device using electric current. General anesthesia is required for electrocautery [10] ablation ...
The papilla is then incised with the cutting wire by applying electrocautery. [1] Pre-cut sphincterotomy: pre-cut biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy refers to the techniques used to cut the papillary mucosa and biliary sphincter in order to expose the underlying bile duct and gain access to it when standard cannulation fails.

Colóquios dos simples e drogas da India, Garcia da Orta, 1563; Written in Portuguese in the form of a dialogue between Garcia da Orta and Ruano, a newcomer colleague in Goa looking forward to encountering the materia medica of India. A literal translation of its title would be "Colloquium of simple drugs and medicinal things in India".
