1. A method for applying energy to a region of tissue, comprising:

  • placing a tissue engaging surface of an electrode device against a surface of the tissue, where the electrode device comprises at least one electrode extending at an oblique angle relative to the tissue engaging surface;

    inserting the at least one electrode obliquely into the tissue at an entry point such that a surface of the tissue directly above the at least one electrode is spaced from the entry point of the at least one electrode and such that the tissue engaging surface does not extend over the surface of tissue directly above an active region of the at least one electrode; and

    applying energy to tissue by delivering energy to the active region of the at least one electrode.
