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.
