A surgical procedure using electrical current to cut and remove tissue from the body with precision.
From electro- (electricity) + resection (surgical removal, from Latin resecare 'to cut off'). Developed in the 20th century as surgical technology advanced.
Electroresection lets surgeons remove tumors and other problem tissues while precisely controlling bleeding at the same time, since the heat from the electrical current also seals blood vessels—it's like a scalpel and cautery tool combined.
