Jan 19, 2026
This PubMed-listed study models and experimentally validates how subcutaneous fat thickness affects temperature distribution during monopolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment used for skin tightening and tissue repair. Using finite element analysis (COMSOL) and in vitro pork tissue experiments, the authors report that…

This single-blind randomized controlled trial evaluated nonablative capacitive-resistive monopolar radiofrequency versus sham in postmenopausal women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause. The intervention group reported significantly greater improvements in sexual function (FSFI) and vaginal health (VHI) at…

This prospective, randomized, single-blind study compared monopolar versus bipolar radiofrequency surgery for inferior turbinate hypertrophy in 71 patients. Over 6 months, long-term symptom outcomes did not significantly differ between groups. Monopolar radiofrequency showed earlier symptom improvement and less…

This occupational exposure assessment monitored surgeons during 11 surgeries using monopolar electro surgery units and measured electric and magnetic field strengths during cutting and coagulating modes. Electric fields near the cable at 10 cm were reported in the hundreds of V/m, while magnetic fields were

Jan 1, 2012
This preliminary clinical series evaluated radiofrequency-assisted recanalization of the nasolacrimal duct in adults with confirmed lower lacrimal system obstruction. The procedure used a monopolar high-frequency device at 450 kHz and 150 W under local anesthesia with sedation. At 90 days postoperatively, 81.25% of…

This Level III therapeutic case-control study evaluated shoulder capsule histology after arthroscopic thermal capsulorrhaphy using monopolar radiofrequency energy, with follow-up from 3.5 to 62 months. Mid- and long-term mRFE groups did not differ from controls on several histologic categories (synovial layer, edema,…
