Abstract

Purpose: In spite of the fact that the electrosurgical unit is the most frequently used energy source in the operating room, it is probably the one least understood by the operating room personnel, including the physicians. This study was performed to develop a conceptual understanding of some basic principles concerning the adept use of electrosurgery instruments.
