Electrosurgery: A Vital Tool in Modern Surgical
Procedures
Electrosurgery is a surgical technique that utilizes high-frequency electrical current to cut, coagulate, or ablate tissue. The electrical current is generated by an electrosurgical unit (ESU) and delivered to the tissue through an active electrode, which is typically a small, pen-like device. The current passes through the patient's body and returns to the ESU via a dispersive electrode, also known as a return pad or grounding pad, which is placed on the patient's body.
The heat generated by the electrical current causes the tissue to vaporize, creating a cutting effect, or to coagulate, sealing blood vessels and reducing blood loss. The surgeon can control the intensity and waveform of the current to achieve the desired effect on the tissue.
