monopolar electrosurgery

Monopolar electrosurgery is a medical technique that uses high-frequency electrical currents to cut or remove tissue during surgery. It involves an electrical generator connected to a specialized tool called an active electrode, which directly contacts the tissue. The electrical current flows through the tissue to a grounding pad placed on the patient's body, completing the circuit. This process generates heat that helps incise or coagulate tissue, controlling bleeding. Monopolar electrosurgery is widely used for its precision and effectiveness in various surgical procedures, allowing surgeons to operate with minimal blood loss and improved visibility.
