1 A. In monopolar electrosurgery, current from an electrosurgical generator passes from an active electrode (the “Bovie” tip) through the patient to a return electrode of greater area. B. In bipolar electrosurgery, the active and return electrodes are in the handpiece, and current only flows through the surgical site.
