[Hazards of electrosurgery].
Burn accidents due to the use of electrosurgical instruments (electrotomy, electrocoagulation) are uncommon but generally serious: explosion of inflammable anaesthetics or antiseptics, local tissue necrosis by an uncontrollable current or coagulation necrosis by a high current. An appropriate use of electrosurgical instruments based on the correct range of indications is the basis for the prevention of accidents.
