<p>The present invention reduces incomplete fusion of living tissue by a bipolar electrosurgical device that applies high-frequency energy to living tissue. The present invention is a bipolar electrosurgical device (100) that comprises a first gripping section (121) and a second gripping section (111) for gripping living tissue and that serves to fuse living tissue that is gripped by the first gripping section (121) and the second gripping section (111). The bipolar electrosurgical device (100) is provided with: a first electrode (113) that is arranged along a gripping surface (112) of the first gripping section (111), said first gripping surface (112) comprising contiguous convex sections and concave sections; a second electrode (123) that is arranged along the gripping surface (122) of the second gripping section (121), said gripping surface (122) meshing with the gripping surface (112) when the first gripping section (111) and the second gripping section (121) are in a closed state; and a suturing unit that sutures living tissue by passing a suture needle having suture thread attached thereto through living tissue that is gripped along the gripping surface (112) by the first gripping section (111) and the second gripping section (121).</p> |
