Puiseux parametrization (Theorem)
Theorem 1   Suppose that $V \subset U \subset {\mathbb{C}}^2$ is an irreducible complex analytic subset of (complex) dimension 1 where $U$ is a domain. Suppose that $0 \in V$ Then there exists an analytic (holomorphic) map $f \colon {\mathbb{D}} \to V$ where ${\mathbb{D}}$ is the unit disc, such that $f(0) = 0$ and $f({\mathbb{D}}) = N$ where $N \subset V$ is a neighbourhood of $0$ in $V$ $f$ is one to one, and further $f |_{{\mathbb{D}}\backslash \{0\}}$ is a biholomorphism onto $N \backslash \{0\}$ In fact there exist suitable local coordinates $(z,w)$ in ${\mathbb{C}}^2$ such that $f$ is then given by $\xi \mapsto (z,w)$ where $z = \xi^k$ $w = \sum_{n=m}^\infty a_n \xi^n$ where $m > k$

This is sometimes written as \begin{equation*} w = \sum_{n=m}^\infty a_n z^{n/k} \end{equation*}and hence the name Puiseux series parametrization. If you do however write it like this, it must be properly interpreted, as the Puiseux series is in general not single valued.

A similar result for arbitrary complex analytic sets with singularities of codimension 1 in higher dimensional spaces under further conditions on the singular set was obtained by Stutz, see Chirka [1] page 98.
