Abstract
An electrosurgical resector tool comprising an energy conveying structure for carrying radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) energy and microwave EM energy having an instrument tip mounted at a distal end thereof. The instrument tip comprises first and second jaws. The second jaw is movable between a closed position and an open position, in which the second jaw is spaced from the first by a gap for receiving biological tissue. The first and second jaws respectively comprise first and second pairs of electrodes that are electrically isolated. The first and second pairs of electrodes are respectively coupled to the energy conveying structure, such that each pair is operable as active and return electrodes for delivering RF EM energy carried by the energy conveying structure. The first and second pairs of electrodes are operable as a microwave field emitting structure for emitting microwave EM energy carried by the energy conveying structure.
