Electrosurgical Tissue Effects
Electrosurgical Cutting
Electrosurgical cutting divides tissue with electric sparks that focus intense heat at the surgical site. By sparking to tissue, the surgeon produces maximum current concentration. To create this spark the surgeon should hold the electrode slightly away from the tissue. This will produce the greatest amount of heat over a very short period of time, which results in vaporization of tissue.
