Definition
Surgical procedures using electric current to cut, coagulate, or destroy tissue; early electrosurgery.
Etymology
From galvano- (galvanism) + surgery (from Greek cheirourgeia, hand work). Emerged in the late 1800s as doctors experimented with electrical currents as surgical tools.
Kelly Says
Galvanosurgery was terrifying and exciting in equal measure—doctors discovered that electric current could cut through tissue and seal blood vessels simultaneously, but patients had to endure the process fully conscious with limited pain relief.
