Frequently Asked Questions

• What is electrosurgery used for?

  Electrosurgery is used to coagulate the tissue to prevent bleeding and destroy any foreign cells that may still exist. 

  Electrosurgery for dermatology procedures is the ideal method for removal of hemangiomas and pyogenic granulomas due to their vascular nature and tendency to bleed.

• How is electrosurgery performed?

  Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency (radio frequency) alternating polarity, electrical current to biological tissue as a means to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue.

  In electrosurgical procedures, the tissue is heated by an electric current.

• What is the difference between monopolar and bipolar?

  There is one basic difference between bipolar and monopolar techniques. With monopolar electrosurgery, a probe electrode is used to apply the electrosurgical energy to the target tissue to achieve the desired surgical effect.

  With the bipolar electrosurgical method a bipolar device, often a set of forceps, is used.
