Medicine To destroy (abnormal tissue, for example) by electric current. [Latin fulgurāre, fulgurāt-, from fulgur, lightning; see bhel- in Indo-European roots.] ful′gu·ra′tion n.fulguration (ˌfʌlɡjʊˈreɪʃən) n (Surgery) surgery destruction of tissue by means of high-frequency (more than 10 000 per second) electric sparksTranslationsFulguration
Fulguration a method of treating such conditions as circumscribed benign growths of epithelium or sites of pruritus by applying a spark from an alternating current without the active electrode coming into direct contact with body tissues. In modern medical practice, fulguration has been replaced by the contact method of cauterization called electrocoagulation. REFERENCEKovarshik, I. Elektroterapiia. Leningrad, 1927.fulguration
fulguration [ful″gu-ra´shun] destruction of living tissue by electric sparks generated by a high-frequency current.direct fulguration that in which an insulated electrode with a metal point is connected to the uniterminal and an electric spark is allowed to impinge on the area being treated.indirect fulguration that in which the patient is connected directly by a metal handle to the uniterminal and the operator uses an active electrode to complete an arc from the patient.ful·gu·ra·tion , direct fulgurationindirect fulguration (ful'gŭ-rā'shŭn), Destruction of tissue by means of a high-frequency electric current: direct fulguration uses an insulated electrode with a metal point, which is connected to the uniterminal of the high-frequency apparatus, from which a spark of electricity is allowed to impinge on the area to be treated; indirect fulguration involves directly connecting the patient by a metal handle to the uniterminal and using an active electrode to complete an arc from the patient.
