ElectrosurgeryThe passage of very high frequency electrical current through tissue to create a desired surgical effect. Specialized "pencils" or electrodes and a generator are used to deliver electrical energy to 'cut' tissue and/or coagulate blood. Unlike electroacautery, the tip of the electrosurgery instrument itself is not heated. Endosco [..]
