Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Bipolar electrosurgery is commonly used to minimize the amount of neural tissue involved with the effects of radiofrequency coagulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The scrub person can prepare for spinal surgery by providing medium to large self-retaining retractors in pairs because a matching pair will be used in the cephalad and caudad margins. Some surgeons prefer an angled or jointed Weitlaner or Beckman style.
