Bipolar Electrosurgery
Bipolar Electrosurgery is a medical technique that uses electrical currents to cut tissue or coagulate blood vessels during surgical procedures. Unlike traditional electrosurgery, which uses a single electrode, bipolar electrosurgery employs two electrodes placed close together. This allows for more precise control and minimizes damage to surrounding tissues.
The process involves passing a high-frequency electrical current between the two electrodes, which generates heat. This heat can effectively seal blood vessels, reducing bleeding and promoting faster healing. Bipolar Electrosurgery is commonly used in various surgeries, including laparoscopic procedures and gynecological surgeries.
