An electro-surgical radio-frequency instrument is described for the coagulating and/or cutting of tissue with a shaft having a radio-frequency voltage connection. A working tip is arranged at the distal end of the shaft and has two electrodes which are connected or connectable to a radio-frequency voltage connection. The working tip is shaped as a hook or a spatula and comprises the two electrodes which are arranged next to one another, and an insulation layer which is arranged between them and which is connected to the electrodes so as to form a unit.
