Abstract
A tissue-resecting probe includes an elongated outer sleeve extending about an axis to a distal housing having a first window for receiving tissue. An edge of the first window has a dielectric surface. A rotatable inner sleeve has a second window, and at least a portion of an edge of the second window provides a first polarity electrode. Rotation of the inner sleeve within the outer sleeve moves the probe between window-open and window-closed configurations to resect tissue.
