Skin wounds in rabbits were tested after healing periods of up to three weeks to determine if scalpel wounds differed from those made electrosurgically. Tensile tests showed that the electrosurgical wounds were initially stronger, but at four days there was no difference. Thereafter the scalpel wounds were stronger and their healing progressed much faster. Histological preparations showed more extensive inflammation and necrosis in the electrosurgical wounds.
对兔子的皮肤伤口进行了长达三周愈合期的测试，以确定手术刀伤口与电外科手术造成的伤口是否存在差异。拉伸试验表明，电外科手术伤口最初更强，但在四天时没有差异。此后，手术刀伤口更强，其愈合进展更快。组织学切片显示电外科手术伤口有更广泛的炎症和坏死。
