Electrosurgery: high-frequency modalities.
The most popular form of electrosurgery used in cutaneous surgery involves the application of high voltage electromagnetic energy in the form of a damped sine wave. This form of current may be applied by electrofulguration, electrodesiccation, or electrocoagulation. The principles involved in the application of these three forms of electrosurgery are discussed.
