Electrosurgery: history, principles, and current and future uses.
J Am Coll Surg. 2006 Mar;202(3):520-30.
Massarweh NN1, Cosgriff N, Slakey DP.
Abstract
Within the
surgeon’s armamentarium, electrosurgical devices stand out as some of the most
useful and most used units. Although widely accepted today, the application of
electrosurgery was considered a stain on the long-standing traditions of the medical
profession until relatively recently. Surgeons who pioneered use of this new technology and
developed the units were chastised as charlatans. Nonetheless, electrosurgery, and the
surgeons who use the units, have endured the test of time and are accepted as a welcome
part of modern surgery and its history.

Electrosurgery
Curr Surg. 2006 Nov-Dec;63(6):458-63.
Jones CM1, Pierre KB, Nicoud IB, Stain SC, Melvin WV 3rd.
Abstract
Electrosurgical units (ESUs) are the most common piece of electrical equipment in the
operating room. The constant presence of the ESU in the operating room increases the
potential for patient injury. However, positive patient outcomes can be successfully achieved
through good medical and nursing practice. To prevent injuries related to the use of an ESU,
the surgeon and perioperative nurse must understand the fundamentals of electricity, the
types of ESUs available, their potential complications, and have a working knowledge of
safe practices for the use of this technology in the perioperative setting. Informed surgeons,
nurses, and staff are the
patient’s best advocate.
