bipolar electrosurgery

Bipolar electrosurgery is a medical technique that uses electrical energy to cut or seal tissue during surgery. It involves two small electrodes placed very close together on a device, with electrical current passing between them. When the device touches tissue, the electrical energy generates heat, allowing precise cutting or coagulation to stop bleeding. This method provides better control and reduces the risk of unintended tissue damage, making it effective for delicate procedures. Overall, bipolar electrosurgery enhances surgical precision and safety by using targeted electrical energy to modify tissues.
