The action of the bipolar current is more useful in producing extensive coagulation of the pedicle of a tumor. When the bladder is open, the papilloma may be held up with a clamp and the bipolar current allowed to penetrate through the tumor, which produces coagulation that extends through the pedicle in the adjacent wall of the bladder.
