Electrosurgery is one of the rnost useful metheds of surgical treatment fer skin-tissue incision under hemostasis. The monopolar output of electrosurgery is primarily designed for the cutting and coagulation' of skin-tissue by flQwing high-energy radio-frequency current between the active electrode and the dispersive electrede. There are two kind of techniques used for electrosurgical coagu!ation, i. e., fulguration and desiccation. Fulguration is electronic sparking to tissue without
