What Are the Risks Associated with Electrosurgical Instruments?
While these instruments are generally safe, certain risks are associated with their use. Potential complications include thermal injury to surrounding tissues, unintended burns, and electrical shocks. Proper training and adherence to safety protocols are essential to minimize these risks. Surgeons must also consider the patient's individual health conditions, such as the presence of any implantable devices, that may interact with the electrical currents.
