- Abstract
Presents a study comparing the risk of nerve injury for monopolar, bipolar electrosurgery (ES) and ultrasonically activated dissection instruments. Dissection of the biceps femoris muscles adjacent to the sciatic nerve using monopolar ES; Determination of the extent of heat damage in four nerves that were divided with ES bipolar scissors; Frequency of the reduction in the electromyographic potential in the monopolar ES.
