Electrosurgery is common in head and neck surgery, but training is limited. Understanding electrosurgery

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
  • Surgical Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Electrosurgery is a prevalent technique in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery.
  • Formal training on optimal electrosurgical instrument use is often lacking in surgical programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the fundamental principles of electrosurgery relevant to head and neck surgeons.
  • To elucidate the history, physics, and tissue interactions of electrosurgical devices.
  • To enhance the surgeon's ability to utilize electrosurgery effectively.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of electrosurgery principles.
  • Analysis of historical development and physical properties.
  • Examination of tissue effects and clinical applications.
