Spaying and neutering
Wound debridement
Orthopedic surgery
Dental surgery

The history of electrosurgery began in the 18th century. Nevertheless, the essential step was made only in the latter 20th century when researchers produced a vacuum tube.

In the 1920s, the first electrocautery sets came onto the market. They were intended for commercial use.

Early devices were not complex, and they were limited in function. With the development of technology, equipment has become more customized to meet users' needs.

Types:

Below are some of the common types of electrosurgery and cautery used in veterinary medicine, including;

Monopolar

Uses a single active electrode and a dispersive pad for a broader area of coagulation.

Bipolar

Utilizes two closely spaced electrodes for more precise cutting and minimal collateral tissue damage.

Radiofrequency

It employs radio waves to generate heat for tissue cutting and coagulation.
