“Cutterage” with the idea of cutting, rather than curettage from curette, a surgical instrument for scraping.

“Cutterage, which uses an electric needle to “cut away” the wart, is often used when there are several warts in a localized area.”
Also see the usage “dialation and cutterage” for “dilation and curettage.
Perhaps “dialation” instead of dilation with the idea of a dial being round.
