[Electrial aspects of transurethral resection with high-frequency currents (author's transl)]. 1976

G Flachenecker, and K Fastenmeier

With the help of electrical models the current-density distributions within the human body during transurethral resection have been measured for systems with various electrodes. The results lead to rules for avoiding mistakes.
