Abstract

The invention features a bipolar electrosurgical apparatus having a first electrode (14) that has a relatively large surface area for creating a diffuse current sufficient to heat a region of tissue to coagulation temperatures, and a second electrode (12) that has a relatively small surface area for creating a concentrated current region sufficient to heat tissue adjacent to the second electrode (12) to resection temperatures. The first and second electrodes (12, 14) are relatively positioned along a treatment path, such that tissue is coagulated and resected as the electrosurgical apparatus is disposed along the path.
