Fulguration of the oviducts is a surgical procedure that involves the use of electrical energy to cauterize or destroy tissue within the oviducts (fallopian tubes). This technique is often employed to treat conditions such as ectopic pregnancies or to sterilize women by blocking the tubes to prevent future pregnancies. The procedure aims to minimize damage to surrounding tissues while effectively addressing the targeted area.
