A survey was made of the electrosurgical practices of the members of the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery. Results showed that the majority prefer the traditional electrosurgical units, with the Hyfrecator (Birtcher Corp.) being by far the most popular. The most common forms of high-frequency electrosurgery are electrocoagulation and electrodesiccation. Very few dermatologists use cutting current, although many own machines with this capability. The majority do not use a strict sterile technic when performing electrosurgery. However, there appears to be an increasing awareness of contamination risks, and many dermatologists have started using disposable or sterilizable treatment electrodes. High-frequency electrosurgery is by far the most common method of electrosurgery. Electrocautery and surgical galvanism are very rarely used.
对美国皮肤外科学会会员的电外科手术操作进行了一项调查。结果显示，大多数人更喜欢传统的电外科设备，其中海弗刀（Birtcher公司）是目前最受欢迎的。高频电外科最常见的形式是电凝和电极干燥。尽管许多皮肤科医生拥有具备切割电流功能的设备，但很少有人使用切割电流。大多数皮肤科医生在进行电外科手术时不采用严格的无菌技术。然而，人们对污染风险的认识似乎在不断提高，许多皮肤科医生已开始使用一次性或可消毒的治疗电极。高频电外科是目前最常用的电外科方法。电烙术和手术直流电疗法很少使用。
