ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for necrosing and resecting tissue. A pair of electrodes are placed on opposed tissue surfaces, and radio frequency power is applied through the electrodes to necrose a tissue mass therebetween. After necrosis has been effected, the tissue may be resected along a plane within the necrosed region with minimum or no bleeding. The tissue mass may then be removed.
