Principles Of Electrosurgery Research Articles

Use of electrosurgery in blepharoplasty.

The use of electrosurgery in blepharoplasty is controversial. The reluctance to use this technique may be related to a misunderstanding of the principles of electrosurgery and to uncertainty about its physical effects on local tissues. On the basis of a review of the physics of electrosurgery, our personal technique, and our clinical results, we feel the method is safe and may offer several advantages over traditional techniques.

Electrosurgery

Principles of electrosurgery are tabulated as an introduction to a practical review of current techniques of removal of verrucae, nevi, basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, keratoses, papillomas, ectasias, and pyogenic granulomas. Schematic drawings illustrate the application of these techniques.
