1. An electrosurgery apparatus comprising:

  • an electrode carrier having a distal end;

    at least one electrode on the electrode carrier;

    an alternating current source conductively connected to the at least one electrode by way of a cable providing alternating current flow to the at least one electrode, wherein one of the at least one electrode and the electrode carrier has a thermoelectric heating and cooling device;

    a temperature control device for the electrode and the electrode carrier, wherein the electrode carrier is of a pointed configuration at its distal end; and

    a fluid heater for heating the at least one electrode and the electrode carrier independent of the amplitude of the alternating current flowing through the at least one electrode.
