Electrocautery is the cauterisation of tissue using heat generated by a high-voltage and a high-frequency current which is then passed through an electrode. Basically an instrument that burns the vessels to stop bleeding.
Bipolar and Monopolar are methods of electrocautery...
Bipolar only passes through the tip of the electrode to affect a small area of tissue, whereas Monopolar includes the patients body into part of the circuit.
Three days ago, I underwent electrocautery and chemical cautery with silver nitrate in my nose.
Permanent fix to my never-ending nosebleeds. But, excruciating. Extremely painful.
I am yet to find out if it is worth the pain.
