What is a bugbee electrode?

Description. Flexible Bugbee Electrodes Monopolar commonly referred as Bugbee Electrodes – It is a monopolar electrode that combines control and maneuverability for efficient resection and coagulation of soft tissue in urology procedures. It delivers radio frequency energy supplied by an electrosurgical generator.

What is bugbee Fulguration?

What is a bipolar resectoscope?

In bipolar electrosurgery, the current flow through the tissue is restricted to the area between the two electrode’s loops that are under visual control of the surgeon (Figs. 1 and 2). In this case, saline solution can be used as distension media because it has no risk of current dispersion.

What type of sedation is used for cystoscopy?
