چکیده
Electrosurgery was first described in great detail by A.J. McLean, who provided histological analysis and interpretation of the healing process in various animal tissues subjected to electrosurgery [1]. McLean also extensively studied principles regarding current density and heat transfer governing the effects of electrical current on tissue [1]. Since its initial description, electrosurgery has evolved into a widely used technology that allows surgeons to obtain a surgical effect such as cutting or coagulation by applying a high-frequency electrical current to a target tissue [1, 2]. This chapter will focus on the technical aspects of several electrosurgical techniques used in the treatment of BPH. Basic Principles
