Monopolar Electrosurgery
Monopolar Electrosurgery is a surgical technique that uses high-frequency electrical currents to cut tissue or coagulate blood vessels. In this method, a single active electrode is used, which delivers the electrical energy to the targeted area. The current flows through the patient's body to a grounding pad placed on the skin, completing the circuit.
This technique is commonly used in various surgical procedures, including laparoscopic surgery and dermatology. Monopolar electrosurgery is valued for its precision and ability to minimize bleeding, making it a useful tool for surgeons in both open and minimally invasive operations.
