Electrosurgery is a widely used surgical technology that employs a high-frequency electric current passing through tissue to cut or cauterize that tissue. ESUs are the most common ignition source in surgical fires. By its very nature, electrosurgery can produce a high-temperature electric arc, incandescence at the probe tip, tissue embers ejected from the surgical site, a flaring flame of organic gases from desiccated tissue, or combinations thereof . It is of note, however, that there has never been a report of a fire with bipolar electrosurgery. This is likely a result of the low power used across the forceps tips and the general lack of arcing that can occur with the tips grasping the target tissue
