Electrocoagulation

Electrocoagulation is also known as Radio Frequency Diathermy or Short Wave Electrolysis. A fine wire probe or other delivery mechanism is used to transmit radio waves to tissues near the probe. Molecules within the tissue are caused to vibrate which lead to a rapid increase of the temperature, causing coagulation of the proteins within the tissue, effectively killing the tissue. At higher powered applications, full desiccation of tissue is possible. (From the Wikpedia article Electrocoagulation.)
